Without direct hooks into the decoder used to transcode the source bytes into the Unicode characters that the parser scans, the parser cannot know the absolute byte location in the stream. And, as I said before, writing a stream that only reads one character at a time might work but is very inefficient. The code that you submitted does not provide the application with a mapping from the absolute byte position that corresponds to handler callbacks. It only provides a mapping from the char position within the buffer holding the transcoded characters. If this is what you want to accomplish, that's fine but we would still need a feature that tells the scanner not to re-use the input buffers (something we do for performance). -- Andy Clark * IBM, TRL - Japan * [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
