Use G_tokenize() with '\n' as the field sep?
Add e.g. "char *escape_xml(const char *)" which returns either its argument or a dynamically-allocated copy with &<> replaced. Apply that first, then apply G_str_replace() to the result, then print that. I wouldn't worry about free()ing the result, as this will only be applied to a relatively limited amount of data. -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://grass.itc.it/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
