How to replace XML reserved special characters from a block of string?

pablo_barua · ‎11-26-2015

I need some help. I am send a xml file with details field values which may have lot of special reserve characters. I am writing a script where I need to find and replace all the special characters that XML reserves. Ex:

Special Character Escape Sequence Purpose

& & Ampersand sign

' ' Single quote

" " Double quote

> > Greater than

< < Less than

I am writing and onChange() client script to change the description field to replace all the special character with appropriate decoded string.

var descr = g_form.getValue('description');

strReplace = descr;

strReplace = strReplace.replace(/&/g, '&amp;').replace(/</g, '<').replace(/>/g, '>').replace(/"/g, '"').replace(/'/g, ''');

g_form.setValue('u_hpsm_details',strReplace);

Can someone help me please? I am stuck... Thanks in advance.
