Working with XML in Java - DOM

Question

My input XML is:

<ROOT> <Child_1> <Child_1_1> <Child_1_1> <p>test123 test456 test789 test101112</p> </Child_1_1> </Child_1_1> </Child_1> </ROOT>

I wanted to manipulate, that let say, after 23 char in my paragraph, I wanted to split my text to two (or more if there are multiple 23 char occurs) paragraphs, so let say:

<ROOT> <Child_1> <Child_1_1> <Child_1_1> <p>test123 test456 test789</p><p>test101112</p> </Child_1_1> </Child_1_1> </Child_1> </ROOT>

In Java code, I'm using W3C DOM:

NodeList nodeListXml = documentXml.getElementsByTagName("p"); for (int i = 0; i < nodeListXml.getLength(); i++) { Element elementXml = (Element) nodeListXml.item(i); String unformattedText = elementXml.getTextContent(); String formattedText; //some logic to split text //... //some logic to split text //here "formattedText" value is "test123 test456 test789</p><p>test101112" as expected elementXml.setTextContent(formattedText); }

After that, my "documentXml" contains incorrect value:

<ROOT> <Child_1> <Child_1_1> <Child_1_1> <p>test123 test456 test789&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;test101112</p> </Child_1_1> </Child_1_1> </Child_1> </ROOT>

And my logic is somehow not working, because of those escaped entities. How can I fix it?

Did you try to spit your String in several part and add it part by part ? String[] parts = split(yourString); for (String s : parts) { elementXml.setTextContent(s);} — Bzil

try something like this :

String[] afterSplit = unformattedText.split("")//you split logic for(String text : afterSplit){ Element element = documentXml.createElement("p"); element.setTextContent(text); elementXml.appendChild(element); }
