Iwpt_output problem (urgent)

amitjain

Hi there,

I am reading a DCR and passing as it is an output XML using iwpt_output. The problem is when the files is generated it One line of Space is also created above the XML contents .

When i am reading it and giving it as an output as an xml in Perl without using iwpt_output...it works fine.

Can anybody tell me why iwpt_output is creating a line of spaces and any remedy for it.
And the problem is I have to use iwpt_output.

my code is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<iw_pt name="Question Full">
<iw_perl><![CDATA[
use AT::IWTools;
use File::Basename;
$dcr_name = iwpt_get_dcr_name();
$outputfile=iwpt_get_ofile_name();
$finalstring="";
if(open (DCR, "<$dcr_name")){
while (<DCR>){$finalstring .=$_;
}
}
close DCR;
iwpt_output($finalstring);
my $output = iwpt_get_ofile_name();
clearMetadata($output);
setMetadataList($output, %metadata);
setDefaultMetadata(iwpt_get_dcr_name(), $output);
]]>
</iw_perl>
</iw_pt>

The output is a file with the XML content.
Actually theres a Java parser which takes this as an input and fails when it finds spaces at the beginning of file.

I have this same problem using a SAX parser handler. If I manually remove the newline before the elemenet value it is read properly.
