I've been messing around with some XML data files and manipulating them withinãa script, then writing them back out.ããSomewhere in this process (either deleting an item or adding one) some weirdãstuff is happening, and I'm not sure if it's something I should be doingãdifferently or if it's just the way it is.ããI'll post an example of exactly what im doing and what the result is when I canãnarrow it down, but the end result is that a huge amount of commas and spacesãare getting thrown into the XML object, leaving the file looking something likeãthis:ãã<blahblah>ã, , , ,,,,,,,ã <blah>ã, , , ,,,,,,,ã </blah>ã, , , ,,,,,,,ã</blahblah>ããit doesnt seem to corrupt the data, but after reading it back in, doing someãwork, and writing it back out a few dozen times, it gets really messy.ããã---ã þ Synchronet þ The BRoKEN BuBBLE (MDJ.ATH.CX)ã

I'm still not sure what exactly is doing it, so I'll have to messãaround with it more, but I've had some crashes as a result of bad XML syntax asãwell (not failure to compile, but jsexec crashes)ããthough the above still has yet to corrupt anything, its just a nuisanceãã---ã þ Synchronet þ The BRoKEN BuBBLE (MDJ.ATH.CX)ã
