Parsing xml file
 |
Hello!
I need some help...
I parsed an xml file using the minidom.parse method, but when i
printed the document object to the screen (using toxml() function), i noticed that the parser automatically replaced my " (inverted commas) chars into ' chars.
for example :
<Father_Tag>
<Son_Tag title=' "Son" '>
This is an "example
</Son_Tag>
</Father_Tag>
turned out to be :
<Father_Tag>
<Son_Tag title=" "Son" ">
This is an "example
</Son_Tag>
</Father_Tag>
as a result, the " replaced the inverted commas (") that i added.
this shit really messes up my program!
can anyone help me?

What is a " supposed to mean? Are you sure you are using PHP?

I think Avner doesn't want his double quotes replaced by single quotes? I have seen this happen with Python before, but it didn't make any difference. Other languages ar not quite so forgiving. The " is an HTML/XML thing.
May 'the Google' be with you!
