Thanks for the tips. I was definitely not reading in the document using the same encoding that was used to create it. I am now able to read in Euro signs when I get the encoding right.
The only outstanding issue is that line separators are being interpreted as spaces. For example, if there is a block of XML that looks like this: <tagx>Line 1. Line 2. Line 3.</tagx> It is being read in as: Line1. Line 2. Line 3. instead of: Line 1. Line 2. Line 3. as I want it to. I have to assume it is an encoding issue because the line separators used to be retained after the XML was parsed. Once again, thank you for the help. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph Kesselman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 11:05 AM Subject: Re: Parsing XML Containing Euro Sign > Make sure the encoding declared in your document considers the Euro symbol > an acceptable character.
