Bug in editing xml file if file ending is not *.xml?

FinalBuilder Discussion

Hi,

I used the "Edit XML File" and "Create XML Node" actions
for to change a *.bdsproj file (Borland Developer Studio Project File)
which is actually an xml file that has the ending *.bdsproj instead
of *.xml.

The two actions I use always lead to a change of the first line
of the *.bdsproj file.
The action deletes the first three characters of the file which
means that after running the action the first line looks always like

ml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Is this a known bug?

Kind regards,

 

Jens

Hi Jens,

Thanks for posting. It looks like one of the actions might have gone looking for a Unicode byte order mark, or something. Very odd, given that it’s the MSXML APIs that are performing the actual edit operations.

We’ll see if we can reproduce it here, and get back to you.

Regards,

Angus
