XMLsimple & probem

Ruby
1

Hello,

I have problem using XMLsimple.xml_in with ‘&’ character :


&

Illegal character ‘&’ in raw string “&”

The problem is solved when I replace ‘&’ by ‘&amp’

but when I this

#####################################
test = XmlSimple.xml_in(“test.xml”)

test[“visit”].each { |visit|
puts visit[“job”]
}
######################################

that puts me ‘&amp’ and not ‘&’…

To be simple, I juste want to have string with & in my xml file and &
when I puts them after loading.

Thanks for your help.

That’s works fine thanks!
But Why &amp didn’t raised me the same Illegal character error ?

Your xml file must wrap your data in CDATA tags in order for you to
use the raw characters. Change your xml file to look like this:

Enjoy!
