Is there a way to validate xml string? thanks!

[davidw]

I need a routine to insert user input string to xml document. I found
sometime there is some unprintable characters in input strings, like 0x02,
is there a function that can filter out those characters?

thanks

Replace(string, oldChar, newChar)

that is a quick answer, but I want to specific function which could
filter out all non-xml characters.

You'll need to be more specific since XML can have almost any character in
it.

Typically you would review all data that is destined for xml for the invalid
xml characters. They are like <>& , you can find the rest anywhere. You
would then convert these characters to xml friendly.
