I get the same error. On a Mac (OS X 10.4.11) at least, the xml files
are plain text files. The solution is to -infix- a single string
variable with length equal to the maximum of the data lines Then use -
regexm- to extract the pieces.

infix str dummy 1-90 using dd.xml, clear

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to read .xml files into Stata. Once there, I can parse
them, even if they are read into just one variable - I'm handy with
-regexm- and the like.
My problem is that I can't seem to get around the quotation marks in
the file. Two rows of the file look like this:
<session="NCX_1" target="entrance" movie="0" start="22:22:23.000"
duration="199" />
<session="NCX_2" target="floor" movie="0" start="22:22:24.000"
duration="179" />
When I insheet, I get
199/>
179/>
When I xmluse, I get
unrecognizable XML doctype
r(198);
regardless of which doctype I specify.
Are there any tricks for getting Stata to ignore the quotation marks
within the file?
Thanks,
Dan
