Hi,<br />
&nbsp;I need to store some regular expressions in an XML but the special characters appear to be causing problems. I read somewhere that if I convert them to hex it works ok but I'd prefer to store them as they are. Does anyone know how I can get around this?<br />
<br />
&lt;RegularExpressions&gt;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;TEST&gt;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;Node&gt;&lt;(?&lt;tag&gt;TEST)&gt;(?&lt;tex<wbr />t&gt;.*)&lt;/\k&lt;<wbr />tag&gt;&gt;&lt;/Nod<wbr />e&gt;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;Node&gt;&lt;(?&lt;tag&gt;TESTA)&gt;(?&lt;te<wbr />xt&gt;.*)&lt;/\k<wbr />&lt;tag&gt;&gt;&lt;/No<wbr />de&gt;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;/TEST&gt;<br />
&lt;/RegularExpressions&gt;<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 'load the xml file<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; xd.Load(Application.Startu<wbr />pPath &amp;&nbsp;&quot;\RegularExpressions.xml&quot;)<wbr /><br />

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Dim ChildNode As XmlNode<br />

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Node = xd.SelectSingleNode(&quot;//TES<wbr />T&quot;)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; For Each ChildNode In Node<br />

<RegularExpressions>

        'load the xml file
        xd.Load(Application.StartupPath & "\RegularExpressions.xml")
        Dim Node As XmlNode
        Dim ChildNode As XmlNode

        Node = xd.SelectSingleNode("//TEST")
        For Each ChildNode In Node
            MsgBox(ChildNode.InnerXml)
