kool_samule Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hi Chaps, I have been given an invalid XML file, which when run through 3rd party software, gives me the line & column numbers of the error. Instead of opening the file and manually searching for the line/column numbers (which can take a whie, as the file is vast!), is there a way to parse the XML file and locate the error, using the line/column numbers? And maybe display/highlight the error in a browser? e.g.: 1: open bad-file.xml 2: read bad-file.xml 3. go-to line 50 4. go-to column 3620 5. open in browser 6. highlight error Cheers S Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/273018-php-search-xml-by-linecolumn-no/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian F. Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Use an editor which has the Jump-to-line command. If you're worried about the file being too big, you can always use vim or similar. To jump to a specific line it in, just write :{line} when in command mode. (insert will bring you to edit mode, and esc back to command mode.)

Christian F. Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Vim is be able to do that, with some work from you. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/273018-php-search-xml-by-linecolumn-no/#findComment-1405822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
