RE: "(" ")" in xml file causing errors

I have an xml file which contains data like
      <result><row>

<(expression)>3DO COMPANY</(expression)><(expression)>THDOQ</
(expression)><(expression)>95688</(expression)><(expression)>GVRC2   </
(expression)><(expression)>0.01300 / 0.04000(5000 x 5000)</
(expression)><(expression)>
</(expression)><(expression)>02-11</(expression)>

      </row>  </result>


This is not XML, if I remember my introductory readings correctly (either
'invalid element names' or 'unescaped markup-characters inside the
content' --you can choose; it seems a bit Escher-esque ;-) ), so it should
be no surprise that this gives an error...


I want to get rid of braces( "(" and ")" from this xml and have
another xml

You can't have 'another' XML, because 'this' is not XML.

with the same data without braces. I am trying to write xsl to do
the same
but it is not working. Can someone please help.


My guess is, if you want to replace the '(expression)' parts, you can't do
it in XSLT.

Is there a possibility of having, say, 'expression' end up where you now
have '(expression)'? Then you would have a valid XML, and the transforming
can begin...


Cheers,

Andreas
