Need to escape ]]>

[DC]

Hi,

I have to somehow place this fragment into a CDATA block: ]]>

Example:

<replace><![CDATA[]]></text>]]></replace>

Of course that does not work since the first ]]will close the CDATA
block already. Can I escape it somehow?

TIA for any hints!

Regards
DC

You need to break that up into two CDATA sections e.g.
<replace><![CDATA[]]]]><![CDATA[></text>]]></replace>

XmlWriter can free you from such hassles by using the WriteCData method
e.g. the above will be created by

writer.WriteStartElement("replace");
writer.WriteCData("]]></text>");
writer.WriteEndElement();
