I currently have a hard-coded method that makes the source XML-valid, but that's not dynamic enough. I'm trying to get the <title> node of the page. Any ideas on a more dynamic method? RE: [?] Loading an invalid XML file by Mnjul on 05-29-2009 at 06:47 PM Well, if you want just the content of the the <title> tode, perhaps String.indexOf() method together with String.substring() method is enough RE: [?] Loading an invalid XML file by markee on 05-30-2009 at 12:30 AM
Another alternative is to use a regular expression. code: RE: [?] Loading an invalid XML file by Matti on 05-30-2009 at 07:20 AM What's the URL of the XML you're trying to read? Maybe there is a solution to make XMLDOM parse it. RE: [?] Loading an invalid XML file by SmokingCookie on 05-30-2009 at 03:01 PM Well, I've done what Minjul suggested. The regexp thingy doesn't work (returns an empty string). It's still a bit hard-coded, but that doesn't matter. |
