Hi,

I use Mathcad to generate me a table in format requested for xml. But actually this is only txt file with suffix xml. When I import it I obtain an error message sais me that change of encoding is not allowed. Then I realised that on the start of file is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" standalone="yes"?>

so I opened my file in advanced txt editor and saved file with different name with option "UTF-16" encoding. When I import modified file again I did not obtain an error message, but the contain of file was still not imported.

So can someone advise me which settings (like encoding...) have to be set to pure txt file to became working xml file ?

I am not a programmer and I have never been working with xml format so far.

I attached an original xml file which I used as a pattern and mathcad file. But when opened in txt editor and compare these two file I see no differences...

...I realise that with xml is created a definition file as well which is needed for reloading of xml. Now it works !!
