Hi,

I’m trying to call a C# web service from webMethods and i’m getting the following error:
<?xml><br><br><soap:Envelope
xmlns:soap=“[url=“http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/”]http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/[/url]”
xmlns:xsi=“[url=“http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance”]http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance[/url]”
xmlns:xsd=“[url=“XML Schema”]http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema[/url]”><br><br> <soap:body><br><br>
<soap:fault><br><br> <faultcode>soap:Client</faultcode><br><br>
<faultstring>Server was unable to read request. –> There is an error in
XML document (11, 4). –> ‘’, hexadecimal value 0x1D, is an invalid
character. Line 11, position 16.</faultstring><br><br>
<detail/><br><br> </soap:fault><br><br>
</soap:body><br><br></soap:envelope>

I have the same type of error. An IDoc comes into webMethods. I convert it to xml and forward it to a vendor.

The xml contains this hexadecimal character. Because of this character, the vendor is unable to read the xml file.

I did a replace transformation to the xml string before sending the file, but it appears that there are many of these characters. (They show up as a square on the xml in Developer.)

These characters show up because the users cut and paste Word documents into SAP.

Any ideas how to filter out these illegal characters?
