Re: How do you get the non-transformed character entity out of MSXML3.0



> this was all discussed in previous postings...
and has been answered several times by several people, but you keep
asking the same question. The information that your source file
contained the text string < is not passed on by any XML parser to any
XML application, thus it makes no sense to ask for an application that
receives a parsed XML document to "keep" this information.
The only thing you can do if you want the serial XML syntax for the
information is to write out such a serialisation. The MSXML parser has a
.xml method on its nodes that does just that. But this isn't "keeping
the untransformed value" it is transforming it back to something that
should be equivalent to what you started with but may not be the same
(eg < might come out as < or visa versa)

There is no such thing. If the document has not been parsed then there
are no "attributes" . If the document has been parsed then < is
already <.
