Xmlize hates spaces [message #25996]

Hello Mirek

Xmlize hates spaces in .exe name and in variable names.

If the .exe file name has spaces, for example "My program.exe", StoreAsXMLFile() saves .xml file with this header:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<!DOCTYPE My program>
<My program>
...

LoadFromXML() cannot parse this Sad

The same for this. If a variable is xmlized like this:

void MyClass::Xmlize(XmlIO xml) {
	xml
		("my var", myVar)
	;
}

StoreAsXMLFile() saves it without any error.

<my var value="1100"/>

But LoadFromXML() cannot parse this Sad

If this cannot be fixed in LoadFromXML(), at least StoreAsXMLFile() could return an error or throw an exception.

Best regards
Iñaki

AFAIR XML specification denies spaces inside tag or attribute name. So this is not a U++ bug, it is an XML feature Smile

Hello Mindtraveller

The first case is spaces in .exe file name. This name is xmlized by Xmlize internally, without programming it. The programmer that uses Xmlize has no chance about it.

About the second case, StoreAsXMLFile() works but LoadFromXML() fails. It would be good if StoreAsXMLFile() would detect it.
