Experts, I am looking for the help in parsing special characters in XML using boost. Original Text: <module>'Admin'</module> Exported Text: <module>'Admin'</module> Using the below code: ptree xmlTree; read_xml("org.txt",xmlTree,boost::property_tree::xml_parser::trim_whitespace); std::string filePath("outFile.txt"); xml_writer_settings<char> settings(' ', 4); boost::property_tree::write_xml(filePath, xmlTree, std::locale(),settings); Any help is highly appreciated Regards, UJ
