Just in case you want to escape/unescape them (it's a little better), here
is what I use (they are C#, but easy to convert to Java). They are simple. I
found the original on the web, but don't remember the author to give the
credit to :
public String EscapeXML(String str)
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
foreach (Char c in str)
{
switch (c)
{
case '&':
sb.Append("&");
break;
case '<':
sb.Append("<");
break;
case '>':
sb.Append(">");
break;
case '\'':
sb.Append("'");
break;
case '"':
sb.Append(""");
break;
default:
sb.Append(c);
break;
}
}
return sb.ToString();
}
This one could be made faster, but it's simple :).
public String Unescape(String str)
{
str = str.Replace("&", "&");
str = str.Replace("<", "<");
str = str.Replace(">", ">");
str = str.Replace("'", "\\");
str = str.Replace("'", "'");
str = str.Replace(""", "\"");
str = str.Replace("<", "<");
return str;
}

Brad Gies

Thank you both for your responses! I think I will try just removing
these characters.
