A parsing challenge I am stuck

[Ray Smilgius]

I can parse a file or an InputStream without no problems, but I call a function which returns an xml string and I need to parse this
String strMe = "localhost";
Document doc;
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf=DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db=dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
String parseme = hostLookup.LookupAddress(strMe);
doc=db.parse(parseme);
I get a SAXException not found the string is returning ok but I need to parse the string not a file I dont want to put it in a file if I did it would work but is there a way to build an InputStream with this strMe string
Thanks in Advance
Ray

String xmlData = ...;
InputStream byteData = new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlData.getBytes());

Thanks James,
That did the trick.
