XML

Post by petlove »

Hello guys,
I am looking for solution of this. Thank you in advance.
I use Save XML to make a XML-file.

From this I want to make the XML

Code: Select all

<voorraad><item><artikel>POST</artikel><aantal>-4</aantal></item><item><artikel>RING N&S</artikel><aantal>0</aantal></item><item><artikel>SC1911-117</artikel><aantal>0</aantal></item><item><artikel>SC1911-330</artikel><aantal>0</aantal></item></voorraad>

But each time there is an error: It is (I'll think) because off the & sign

How to solve this??

In the help file is the following: Automatically converts non-ASCII symbols into the UTF8 format.

When I skip the

Code: Select all

<item><artikel>RING N&S</artikel><aantal>0</aantal></item>
part the XML is made correct

Is there another way to do this?

Because symbol & (ampersand) is reserved symbol for XML format.
This symbol means that you use some special symbol like in HTML format
Look here about special symbols for HTML & XML format: https://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm

You have to use such expressions instead of ampersand char:
&
-or-
&

The expression below is correct:

Code: Select all

<item><artikel>RING N&S</artikel><aantal>0</aantal></item>



Also look at my small example

Code: Select all

[Actions\Action2\Params]

Save the text of the task to a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.
