Naz,

Have you tried to remove the '<' and '>' characters, replacing them with
&lt; and &gt;?

           <xmlpoke
               file="file.xml"
               xpath="/A/B"
               value="&lt;C&gt;Some text&lt;/C&gt;" />

Subject: [Nant-users] Trying to add a node using xmlpoke

Hi guys,

I have an xml file sim to :-

<A>
   <B>
   </B>
</A>

I want to add <C> as follows :-

<A>
   <B>
      <C>Some text</C>
   </B>
</A>

Looking at the docs for xmlpoke (note I'm using 0.84 and am not able to upgrade to nightly builds)

<Quote>
The location specified by the XPath expression must exist, it will not create the parent elements for you. However, provided you have a root element you could use a series of the tasks to build the XML file up if necessary.
</Quote>

I have tried to do this as follows :-

           <xmlpoke
               file="file.xml"
               xpath="/A/B"
               value="<C>Some text</C>" />

Does not work ('<', hexadecimal value 0x3C, is an invalid attribute character.)

I have also tried to use  :-

           <xmlpoke
               file="file.xml"
               xpath="/A/B/C"
               value="Some text" />

Which also fails as per the docs. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Naz
