Instead, use the "getBytes(String)" variety so that you can specify the encoding of the bytes that are returned. (Also remember that you should match the encoding with what is declared in the XMLDecl line -- <?xml version='1.0' encoding='...'?>.) Or better yet, use a StringReader instead. Then you don't have to worry about matching the encoding specified in the XMLDecl. -- Andy Clark * [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
