I've been using the xml.sax.handler module to do event-driven parsing
of XML files in this python application I'm working on. However, I
keep having really pesky invalid token exceptions. Initially, I was
only getting them on control characters, and a little "sed -e 's/
[^[:print:]]/ /g' $1;" took care of that just fine. But recently, I've
been getting these invalid token excpetions with n-tildes (like the n
in España), smart/fancy/curly quotes and other seemingly harmless
characters. Specifying encoding="utf-8" in the xml header hasn't
helped matters.
Any ideas? As a last resort, I'd be willing to scrub invalid
characters.... it just seems strange that curly quotes and n-tildes
wouldn't be valid XML! Is that really the case?
TIA!

Are you making sure to encode the strings you pass into the parser in
UTF-8 or UTF-16? This article was illuminating in that respect and may
be helpful in diagnosing your problem: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/11/13/py-xml.html?page=2

It's not the case, unless you have a wrong encoding. Then the whole
XML-Document isn't a XML-document at all.
Just putting an encoding header that doesn't match the actually used
encoding won't fix that.
Read up on what encodings are, and ensure your XML-generation respects that.
Then reading these files will cause no problems.

I checked the file format (of the file containing the n-tilde - ñ) and
it is indeed UTF-8! I'm baffled! Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jason

Without you showing us your actual code and data - no. Because it works
for me and a lot of other people.

I am using PostgreSQL 7.4, but I did have the same problem with the

If I use the following query, everything is fine, the index is used and
the query is executed very quickly:

I'm getting a compiler error on my ASP.NET page and I can't see the
cause. I have a simple C# class compiled into a DLL and placed in my
bin directory which has a public property QuestionText. When I try
and set the property the compiler throws up
Compiler Error Message: CS1519: Invalid token '=' in class, struct, or
interface member declaration
If I don't try and set the property it prints out the default value of
the property fine.

With this line (asp.net/c#):
colNameVal = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings;
I get "invalid token '=' in declaration". I also get it for "invalid token
';' in declaration".
I don't understand what the compiler is trying to say. Can you clarify/solve?

I have an xml document, created using xmlTextWriter,
at(http://www.supremecourtofohio.gov/rss/docketitems/2006-1942.xml) that
won't validate. It fails with "invalid token, document not well formed". Then
if I open the same file in notepad, save it without changing anything, and
try again, it validates (I'm using http://www.rssvalidator.org). So I'm
thinking there are invalid characters that notepad is removing ?? But what
are they and why?...

Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble with a datagrid that is supposed to insert data.
But one row has to insert data in the data base using Radio button. So
I created two buttons one of Bad Mood then the other one is Good mood.
when one is selected, the data is to be inserted into the database.
this is working well. But the problem comes when it comes to images,
thes images are smilies. When good mood is selected I want a smiley to
be inserted...

Why does 09 cause an invalid token while 9 does not?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
