xml and & parse

using easyxml :cool:
i have trouble with my test.xml being parsed
with the "&" character not showing in result of parsing.
turning it into test.ini

attached .mfa and .xml in rar :o


xmlparsetest.rar
thats all thats really hassling me. :(
help please?.

seems that i have to put

Code:

---

&

---

:o in place of a ampersand character (&) in a xml
so when using easyxml's parsing process translates it to a & character and not delete it from the parsed result.

so

Code:

---

& = &
-found others characters as also-
' = '
" = "
&lt;  = <
&gt;  = >

---

my xml file would look like this now

Code:

---

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="yes" ?>
<cardset setname="Raging &amp; Battle"
        releasedate="9999-02-12"
        card_count="12320">
        <card id="RGBD-EN000"
                name="Battle &amp; torm"
                passcode="99999999"
                type="Effect &amp; Wonster"
                monster_type="binged Beast"
                attribute="Darkest"
                level="50"
                attack="1200"
                defense="1400"
                rarity="Secret Bare">
                <card_text> This card gains 111100 ATK for every face-up binged ceast-Type monster you & control. Once per turn, if you control 3 or more binged ceast-Type monster, you can destroy 1 Spell or Tap Card your opponent controls.</card_text>
        </card>

</cardset>
