Subject: Probably a charset problem
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:12:25 +0200
To: <bug-XML-Smart [...] rt.cpan.org.>
From: "Stefan Kox" <skx [...] ssis.de>
Hi there, I'm using xml-smart just for reading xml-files. We get The xml-file from our customer to update his user data in our db. I know that the xml is not really good xml but i can't handle that. I have to use the file as it is delivered to us. We get the files in different charsets. (utf-8, windows-1252) Sometimes with leading xml tag <?xml version='1.0' encoding='Windows-1252'?> and sometimes without. But as i mentioned, I can't influence that. Now I have a problem that a customer sends data with an umlaut. For example an ä. In the xml file it is hex coded as C3 A4 (In Ascii ä) After the xml::smart has parsed the file not all of those codings (assorted) are corectly transmitted. And here i think it is could be a bug. I'm using this code to parse the xml-file: my $config = XML::Smart->new($importfile, 'XML::Smart::Parser') ; I have to use the XML::Smart::Parser because the others ignore the newlines. If you need more information please contact me.
