Hai ppl,
i am using substring to get jothish from a xml file having
jothish
i have USED
Code: [Select]%above_strin:6,-7%it doesn't work the way it should work
i searched for the same in google i found that i have to give escape character(^) before the special characters like <,>,|,&. So i can explicitly specify ^ character but if the spcial character COMES in between the above code wont work
Need suggestions to solve it......

Thanks
PPLI had a similar problem with html tags.
Try this:
set var="%above_strin:6,-7%"

hope it helps
uliNO yar i cant able to resolve that using double quotes either....
Did you solve the problem using the double quotes

thanks
jothishI used this to delete the
tag from the var:
(It didn't work WITHOUT double quotes cause of the html tag.)

set var="uli
glueck"
set var=%var:
=%

uliif you have scripting LANGUAGES like Perl/Python or even vbscript and others similar, they can make your life easier
example in Python
Code: [Select]import re
xmlcontents = open("yourfile.xml").read()
print re.findall("<name>(.*?)</name>",xmlcontents)[0]

output:
Code: [Select]jothish
