in thread How can I use XML::Simple parser to read and parse greater then (>), less then (<) and ampersand (&) symbol..

hi thank you for your quick reply. well there is no quote present over these symbel. since i have to put validation check for these symbol only. here i am giving sample for my input file.
<query> insert into name (name, age, address) (select from age_tab where age > + 19 ) </query>

    You might be able to run the file through some filter that'll try to guess which <, > or & belongs to a tag/entity and which one does not, but there's no guarantee it'll guess correctly every time. Fix or get fixed whatever produces this invalid format.

    You should enclose them in a CDATA block to keep them safe from the parser , all parsers should respect this.

     <tag><![CDATA <?>&;]!> ]]></tag>

    the only thing you cannot put in CDATA is ]]> as its the CDATA terminator , however if its essential then you could do something like

    <tag><![CDATA ]]]]><![CDATA >]]></tag>

    for the full info see http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_cdata.asp
