Dear Anonymous Monk

Thanks a mil for your help.

I used your code to check and found out that umlauts were the culprits

I created a test folder with test file and ran the code. To my surprise I got new error messages (cf. list below), which have not yet appeared... As you can imagine, the source files remained untouched and no back-up files were created

I seem unable to figure what the exact meaning of the error is, I reckon it must be something in the xml-files,

I am really sorry for all these questions, however it is a good way to learn things.

Thanks a mil for your support

Kind regards

C.
