Subject: Ignoring Whitespace


Hi All,

I am a first time poster.

Could anyone please point me to (or give me) a tip on ignoring the 
whitespace in XML elements (tabs, newlines, etc.)... I am using JDK 1.4.
1 and SAX (do you say "I use SAX"??).

I am trying to get the sum of the contents (just numerical data) of all 
elements in a file but get errors. 

If I write the file as one line (no tabs or newlines) if works without 
complaints. 

Also I would like to know how to isolate the case in which there will 
be elements containing data other than numerical. (For example: <num> 
elements will contain the numerical data, all others some other data). 
How do I get the contents of only the <num> tags?

I have tried searching the Java documentation, and generally the net 
but had no luck so I thought I'd ask. 

Sorry if I am bothering you with too newbie questions!

Many thanks in advance,
nmk
