Hi,

My xml structure is like,

<a>

<b>

<c>stev & rats</c> 

</b>

</a>

when I am validating the input . It was showing the error as "INVALID data". at <c> stev & rats</c>

How can I validate this data?

Thanks,

Hi,

The '&' character is itself an escape character in XML

Are you able to validate this ?

<a>

<b>

<c>stev &amp; rats</c> 

</b>

</a>

If yes you might need to escape & or replace it by &amp; in your data .

yes, I can read &amp;

How can I escape that & character? (without modifying the data)
