hello,

im using VBScript to open generated .XML files off the local file
system and do stuff with them. the problem i'm running into is:
sometimes the .XML is invalid and contains an ampersand that is not
qualified. ex:

<FOO>$.01 & Greater</FOO>

....which causes problems when i attempt to load via:

Dim xml : Set xml = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xml.async = "false"

If xml.load(sXmlPath) Then
'[do stuff]
Else
'[report error]
End If


what can i do? is there a way get back an exact line # for the failure
to load, and then perform some string manipulation on it?


thanks!

examining the XML object i did find some properties to help w/ run-
time adjustments to the XML:

xml.ParseError.Reason
xml.ParseError.Line

....i can probably use these to open the text file to the proper line
and replace "& " with "&amp; "
