SAX Parse:An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x8) was found

Hi ,

Using TS 6.5 SP2 Unix 5.8

In DCT code we just have 'inline' which calls our DCT code IPL

Below is the DCT code
[HTML]






[/HTML]

data.ipl contains



[HTML]print qq{



<script language="javascript" location="webserver" src="/iw-mount/sales_portal_ui_dev/main/sales_extranet/Code/WORKAREA/workarea/common/sales_portal/main_section/validation.js"/>

};[/HTML]

Problem is : when i do 'New Form Entry' it gives me following error

SAX Parse:An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x8) was found in the value of attribute "validation-regex" and element is "text".

After some R & D I got to know that \b in my validation-regex is creating the problem. If I add one more SLASH ( \ ) ie., \\b then the DCT screen comes up without any error , but my regex is not doing what it should do.

If I remove \b its working fine.


Also if I used the same DCT code ( data.ipl ) directly in datacapture.cfg instead of calling it through 'inline' its working fine.


Any clue ?

I'm not sure the validation-regex understands \\b - so that might be part of the problem. However you need to include the extra \\'s for all your escape sequences because you are printing the results from perl into the DCT - and Perl will strip away one layer of the \\'s - so you're inline code should look like:[html]
[/html]However, you'd probably be better off moving the entire validation piece into FormAPI code...
