I'm using XML files to replicate some settings and other stuff 
between several servers (thanks for your previous help!). Everything 
is cool except one thing.

I use character with code 2 as a separator or marker on several 
places in the database. Things like
	IF substring(PostingParameters.UserName,1,1) = char(2) 
		-- then it's an ID of a field and I will use value of that field
		-- to log in
	ELSE
		-- its a constant

or
	(from ASP) ... conn.SetPostingParameters(..., _
		CSVSeparator & chr(2) & CSVQuote _
		& chr(2) & CSVEscape, ...

the problem is that if I write a string containing a chr(2) into an XML 
file, XMP::Parser (used via XML::Simple) will refuse to parse the file 
with 

	not well-formed at line ...

error message. So I've replaced the char(2)s with  in the 
generated XML. Still no success, it gives

	reference to invalid character number at line ...

error message.

Is there any way to "properly" escape such a character so that it 
would be accepted by XML::Parser?

And if not what character would you recomend to be used 
(escaped if necessary) to make XML::Parser happy, but still being 
reasonably safe that it will not be mistaken for "normal" data.

Thanks a lot, Jenda
