Hi Robert, Good work - I'm following this with interest as you seem to be doing something similar to myself. For Point 1, yeah I could set the encoding using the @DOM, but it seems to be ignored.
Would it be possible to use some other XML parser other than Witango to do this? Maybe that has a COM interface that can be used through Witango. I haven't had need to do this but maybe is an option? What are you planning to do with the external command tool and the XML document so Witango can parse it correctly?

When adding xml to a dom like so: <@assign local$mydom <@dom value='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><xml />'>> Witango does not complain about the declaration, however, it does ignore, and just assumes ISO-8859-1 encoding. This also applies to using the <@include file> method. However, if you do an insert of xml with a declaration, like from a file, it will complain, and thrown an error. So if you use <@dominsert> and I assume <@domreplace>, the xml you insert, must not have a declaration, it must be stripped, and again, ISO-8859-1 encoding is assumed. 2. I have a project we are just finishing, that accepts xml that was generated from ASP .NET, and is UTF-8 encoded. I don't have control at this point to say, please encode as ISO-8859-1 so witango will interpret correctly. I just tested this app with some special characters, german and spanish, and witango messed them up, as expected. So I am writing a helper (external command) for witango that will solve this problem, because I have to present this solution on Thursday. -- Robert Garcia President - BigHead Technology VP Application Development - eventpix.com 13653 West Park Dr Magalia, Ca 95954 ph: 530.645.4040 x222 fax: 530.645.4040 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bighead.net/ - http://eventpix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf ******************************************************************** This message is intended only for the use of the person(s) ("the intended recipient(s)") to whom it is addressed.
