I have encountered a problem with the XML parser and I would like to know if there is an easy solution. From a desktop application not a web based application I open a XML file to parse. The filename of this application contains a ‘%’ in the name of the file. Before you open the file you pass the filename you use the function xmlURIUnescapeString(). I understand that this character should be removed as ‘%’ represents an escape character in an URI however if the input is from user input(i.e. dialogs on MAC and WINDOWS) the character is part of the filename. At present I have commented out the calling of this function to get the library to open the proper file. I am uncomfortable with this solution as I am sure that this function is needed in some circumstances.
We first found this problem when we were testing opening files in a Japanese local using Japanese kanji characters. Some of these characters contain ‘%’ as the first byte of a two byte character.
