Question about reading a xml

[xiaowei.lin]

Hi all,

            I am working on SunOS 5.8,  Python 2.2.2

            When I run the python grogram below:

 

#Beginning

import xml.dom.minidom

 

xml_str = """\

<test>

<a>&apos; this is a</a>

<b>c&apos; this is b</b>

<c>this is c</c>

</test>

"""

 

dom = xml.dom.minidom.parseString(xml_str)

 

na = dom.getElementsByTagName("a")[0]

nb = dom.getElementsByTagName("b")[0]

nc = dom.getElementsByTagName("c")[0]

 

print na.childNodes[0].data

print nb.childNodes[0].data

print nc.childNodes[0].data

#End

 

            The result is as below:

" this is a

c

this is c

 

            I don't know why the letters following the quote are lost.
Even the quote lost if the quote following another letter.

 

Regards,

Sean
