I had a similar thing happen, we were getting some accented characters (> 7F/127) and the parser would jerk to a halt (sometimes). Our issue was that the XML was actually written in iso-8859-1 encoding but the encoding element in the XML said UTF-8 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>.
I think the way it works is that UTF-8 expects 0000-007f characters to be single byte for ASCII compatibility and after that as double byte. Mostly this is fine if all the characters are under 007F (127). In this case, when the parser got to the accent character it would throw it's hands in the air (like it did in fact care) saying "okay - you've told me it's utf-8, but then when I read this character that should have another byte with it, but it doesn't - what is going on!?" Check that your encoding, element is correct. If the encoding element says UTF-8 and the text is actually ASCII then the parser may be having difficulty when it "sees" an over 127 character and thinks that the text "should" be Unicode. Try changing the encoding to "ISO-8859-1" (or something suitable) and see what happens. Stuart ______________________________________________________________________ some instances where particular elements have foreign language characters in (over char 127). This seems to be giving me a segmentation faults in the open stage, if i use an EXT that tries to extract data from that element or any elements after the element in question. ********************************************************************** This email message and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of addressed recipient(s).
