Thanks for the reply... this actually turned out to be a different problem altogether. I had suspected at first that the newline character was causing invalid xml but it seems to be something else. Sorry for bothering everyone during my "learning xml" phase ;-) Jon On Fri, 2002-06-21 at 14:20, Andreas Jung wrote:

.strip() only removes leading and trailing whitespaces. To remove '\n' within the document you should something like XML=XML.replace('\n','').

I have a python script that transforms the results of a zsql method into xml. The script builds the xml in a python string and returns that string as the scripts output. The problem I have is that the string contains a newline character (\n) which corrupts the xml. I made sure to strip the string before it's returned...

XML = XML.strip() return XML

... but the output always contains the newline character. Does anyone have suggestions on how I could fix this?

Thanks,

Jon
