How To Find Invalid XML Characters (Unicode 0x12)

[rstring9]

Hello,

I have a system which reads rows from a database, then makes those rows XML records.
The system is reporting, "An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x12) was found in the element content of the document."

The website https://unicodelookup.com tells me that this is "dc2 device control two ctrl-r". This is HEX value 0x12

Can anyone help me understand how to Use the Oxygen editor to find the invalid character(s)?

Thanks in advance,
Rich

Hello,

Assuming that message is indeed correct and there is a Unicode character with the hexadecimal code 0x12 in the content, you can search for it in Oxygen with the Find > Find/Replace tool. Use:
Find: \u0012
Options: [x] Regular expression

You can also use this with the Find > Find/Replace in Files tool.

Regards,
Adrian
