ColdFusion XMLFormat () does not convert all characters

Question

I am using XMLFormat () to encode some text for an XML document. However, when I go to read the XML file that I created, I get an invalid character error. Why is XMLFormat () incorrectly encoding all characters?

I am launching CF8.

Answer 1

Are you sure you want to output the file in the correct encoding? You can't just do

<cffile action="write" file="foo.xml" output="#xml#" />

as a result, it will most likely be different from the character set your XML is in. Unless otherwise specified (by coding declaration), the XML files are treated as UTF-8, and you should do:

<cffile action="write" file="foo.xml" output="#xml#" charset="utf-8" />
<!--- and --->
<cffile action="read" file="foo.xml" variable="xml" charset="utf-8" />

  <cfset myText = xmlFormat(myText)>

  <cfscript>
      i = 0;
      tmp = '';
      while(ReFind('[^\x00-\x7F]',myText,i,false))
      {
        i = ReFind('[^\x00-\x7F]',myText,i,false); // discover high chr and save it numeric string position.
        tmp = '&##x#FormatBaseN(Asc(Mid(myText,i,1)),16)#;'; // obtain the high chr and convert it to a hex numeric chr.
        myText = Insert(tmp,myText,i); // insert the new hex numeric chr into the string.
        myText = RemoveChars(myText,i,1); // delete the redundant high chr from string.
        i = i+Len(tmp); // adjust the loop scan for the new chr placement, then continue the loop.
      }
      return myText;
  </cfscript>
