facing problem when we try to read data from XML

[yashpal jain]

Code is

1875 sub handle_char() {
1876 my ($parser, $text) = @_;
1877 debug("Value=$text");
1878 print "print value $text\n";
1879 }

case 1
XML data is
<afffectedUsers>b11user3&lt;&amp;&gt;</afffectedUsers>

it print
print Value= b11user3
print Value= <
print Value= >
print Value= &

case 2
XML data is
<afffectedUsers>b11user4,b11user5#</afffectedUsers>

it print
print Value= b11user4,b11user5#


My question is when we replacing special character in XML( in case 1 b11user3&lt;&gt;&amp;) it won't read complete sentence in one parse and it is breaking sentence when it find "&lt;" ,"&gt; &amp;" but in case 2 it read complete sentence in one pass . why it break or print value when it get "&lt;" ,"&gt;,&amp;"

That is not the code you gave above. It's different.
Above: &lt;&amp;&gt;
Here: &lt;&gt;&amp;

Which one is it?

Something to do with your software. Perhaps there is a setting that
makes it do this when it sees a character entity reference to a
character known to be a markup character (< and &).

Ask the author?
Use better software?
