How to parse special charcacters(&)

[Bhasker Reddy]

I get xml files with these special characters. My parser is failing for these characters. Is there anyway i can tell my parser to ignore these
<NAME><![CDATA[Unlimited N&W]]></NAME>.
When my parser tries to retrive this values(Unlimited N&W) it fails.

Its not clear what parser you are using (SAX/DOM?) but for a DOM parser,
this link provides some info about how to process CDATA sections (scroll to the middle).
