convert xml Cp1252 tot UTF-8
Copy link to clipboard
Copied
My site imports an xml file which is encoded in Cp1252 from a windows machine. But when i try to parse it I get the following error "Invalid encoding name Cp1252". Somehow my site which is a Linux machine can't read it.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
My solution was converting it tot UTF-8. Changing the encoding attributes to UTF-8 does the trick but not on all xml files. Every now en then it runs into a character it doesn't know. Does anybody know how tot convert de character tot UTF-8 using coldfusion (11).

I solved it by using xml-high-safe.cfc (https://github.com/bengarrett/devtidbits.com/blob/master/post_42/xml-high-safe.cfc) by Ben Garret, to make the conversion of the high characters.
