cdata

Hi,

I have an XML file which XML parser choke on. A part of it is :

<closedDeal><customer><![CDATA[ABC ]]></customer></closedDeal>

The error I got is

The literal string ']]>' is not allowed in element content. Error processing resource

What is the correct way of using CDATA? I need CDATA because the data is read from Excel, and could contain illegal character such as ALT+ENTER whitespace.

Please help. Thanks.
