How to clean 0x0E value from file when using XSL?

[JR]

I have some code that cleans up an xml file before running xsl
transformation on it due to what I call bad characters in the data. I
have as an example:

str = Replace(str, "", ".")
str = Replace(str, "", ".")

In there as filters to strip out characters XSL doesn't like and
replace it with periods. I am now getting an exception of a hex value
of 0x0E however can't figure out what the string replace value should
be for this one. From what I can tell, it's some kind of "shift out"
character whatever that is. Any input would be appreciated on what I
need to put in there to filter out this value.

THanks.

I'm curious to know how these characters got in there :-)

x0E is indeed the SO (Shift Out) character (see any table of ASCII
characters). SO and SI were intended for switching character sets.
Maybe convert them to [ and ] as they presumably originally enclosed
material in another character set.
