in reply to Re^2: Pasing an XML file to generate a certain output.
in thread Pasing an XML file to generate a certain output.

If i entirely remove the comment it runs fine. i'm playng with comments => "process" as the authors said, but with no luck.

Hmm, xml parsers are required to reject invalid xml -- comments inside tags are invalid xml :)

I wouldn't play anymore :D

    Ah ok thanks, it appeared to me as a very bad thing having a comment inside a tag, but i was not aware it was not valid XML.

    Hmmm,

    What if I remove all the rubbish I dont need from the file, how would I parse it then.
