Question

I have this code,
this is working, but problem is in this example.xml file,In this file single value single line is accepted.

(value>Northland College, 1411 Ellis Avenue, Ashland, Wisconsin</value>)

If we gave multiple line it will take only a single line read.

<value>Northland Community and Technical College has been in existence in one form or other since 1949,
     when the Minnesota State Board of Education approved an area vocational school for Thief River Falls.</value>

but i want to a multiple line read.Please give me a answer

I haven’t tested this but I suspect the linefeed in the characters is giving problems. Try change your character() method in the xml handler to:

currentValue = new String(ch, start, length).replaceAll("\\r\\n|\\r|\\n", " ");
