Hi Jens,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. We are a startup and basically just trying to get thing going with what we have. I'm downloading the XML data via a URL and I could just change the database and strip out the offending characters. I was wondering if changing the XML charset would solve the problem? From searching the Web I think the problem could be that we are assuming UTF-8, I was wondering if we changed it to one of the ISO char sets if this would solve it.

Maybe a cool option for NSXML would be to be able to specify the & pound ; sequence and have it map it to whatever.......

Thanks again
Dave

I am getting an error using NSXMLParser if it encounters a British Pound Sign - it's encoded as & pound ; (minus the spaces).
Any idea on how to solve this??

Basic XML only defines a handful of character entities. The other common ones are part of HTML. Are you sure this document is valid XML?

I'm more familiar with NSXMLDocument than NSXMLParser, so I'm not sure how you tell the latter to handle arbitrary character entities. Sorry I can't be more help.
