hi,

at first: excuse me for my bad english :-)

i want to manupulate a element-text of a xml-file like this:
<element>text</element> ==> <element>manupulated text</element>.
for the parsing of the xml-file i use SAX, but i have no idea how i have to
manipulate the text and write it back into the xml-file.

can anyone give me a tip to solve my problem?

many thanky,
jan

First I would see if I could maybe reconstruct the document adding the
text in as I do so then printing it back out with a PrintStream but
that probably is the worst way to do it. Look in the api of a book
there has to be some like document builder class.

SAX is purely an API for reading XML, so SAX in itself does not
provide any way of writing an updated file.

But it is relative simple to do - you can write out
start tag with attributes in startElement and
modified content + end tag in endElement.
