Parsing XML: invalid document structure

Hello!

 

I have a txt file and trying to convert it to XML but I'm having some issue

 

This is the table I have containing the xml structure:

and this is the error I got:

XML Parse (29) invalid document structure at Line:1 and Column:40 at row # 1

 

when I check the "Ignore xml errors" option I get this:

I tried "Root", "auto detect child", and "specific child name" to be Patients but all the same issue

I'm not sure how to fix this, I want each record to be in a row but it doesn't look like it's parsing anything

 

Thank you

@nujjod  Do you have a dummy available :-)? Then i can throw it into my designer to fix the problem :-).

Hi @nujjod 

 

You will get this error when your XML is not complete/proper structure. As @Sebastiaandb said if you provide us with some sample input and expected output It will help us get a better understanding of the usecase.

We will be happy to help : )

Thank you so much @Sebastiaandb and @atcodedog05

I've attached the workflow and the txt file (I wasn't able to upload the txt file correctly because the content is XML, so I added a "t" in the beginning and it should be removed)

Hi @nujjod 

 

Here is how you can do it.

Make sure to set delimiter as none in the input tool.
