I have the following sorts of text coming in waves of XML files (hundreds / day):
<app text='C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SHELL32.DLL' date='2008-07-29' time='14
+:39:02' msec='032' sid='442'><![CDATA[Program Manager]]></app>
<app text='C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\POCL\DESKTOP\STORE'N'GO (E)\THE F
+UNCTIONS BEFORE EDITING.EXE' date='2008-07-29' time='14:49:00' msec='
+622' sid='442'><![CDATA[Macromedia Flash Player 6]]></app>
The first line will parse just fine. The second will not as the text tag contains embedded ' marks. Is there a regex that will remove this extra punctuation but leave the rest of the attribute (and tag) intact?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
