Re^2: Regular Expression to replace & in XML

Hi there,

thanks for the suggestion but this solution does not work with 'sed' command as I mentioned in my question.
If the XML has the character '&#','&' etc then the XML file can not be opened and hence I am trying to use 'sed' command.

Below are link for XML special character translation for reference

Could you please help using 'sed' command?

Hi denzil_cactus, Could you please help using 'sed' command? PerlMonks is a website for Perl. You may find a few monks who speak sed too, but why is the Perl solution not acceptable for you? Update: Are you and user Chris Daniel working on the same problem? Need a regex to replace incomplete html entities Regards, -- Hauke D	[reply]
