Description:Sometimes you need to insert a string into an xml document. Before doing this, you need to ensure that your string does not contain any special xml characters. It is possible to use a CDATA section and not replace the characters, but if you need to replace the 5 special xml characters in a string, then this simple function is for you.
Instructions:use as follows:

string myString = "it's not big & it's not clever"
xmlString = XmlString(myString);


this converts myString to:
it's not big & it's not clever

If string already contains escaped characters, these will be preserved eg:

string myString = "my fave xml characters are \">\" & \"<\""
xmlString = XmlString(myString);


This converts myString to:

my fave xml characters are &quot;&>&quot; &amp; &quot;&&<&quot;
