Cleaning/parsing HTML & XML

[Andre Garzia]

Willian,

I usually use Ken Rays stsXMLLib which I grew very fond of.

A nice way of escaping XML entities is to use a custom property as a
little map, for example:

< >
> <
& &

Then you do a loop like:

repeat for each line tEntry in the cReplacementMap of this stack
  replace word 1 of tEntry with word 2 of tEntry in theText
end repeat

this way, if you ever need to escape something more, you don't need to
change your code. I have a lot of XML, XHTML, *ML code here and I find
that every time I hard code something like a collection of things to
replace of thing like that, in the end, I need to change and fix
several parts of the code.

custom properties are your friend!

Cheers
andre
