XML and unicode

[FE-FR]

Hi,

I am currently experiencing a problem reading an XML file wich containts
unicode data, in fact words from foreign language (hebrew, arabic, asian,
....)

The code I am using is very basic :

xmlfile="c:\test.xml"

Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0")
If xmlDoc.Load(xmlfile) Then
Set Tim = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName(infos)
TheWord = Tim.Item(0).Text

The header of my XML just containts :

<?xml version='1.0'?>

and the data is (example in hebrew) :
<information>?????</information>
<justForTest>mytext</justForTest>


With this code, if I request 'information', I get ???? in my 'TheWord' var.
If I request 'justfortest', it works fine.

I just wonder why I get this problem and if someone can give me some advice.

Thanks

FE

Is you application ANSI?
If yes, then the data from xml (unicode) is converted to ansi code page.

Hi,

The header of my XML just containts :

<?xml version='1.0'?>

You should specify on the header of your XML file the encoding type :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-8" ?>
