route message with a space

Hi

I've been trying to use Jasch's detox object to parse an xml file however the xml is not under my control and quite poorly formatted with several missing closing tags so the object won't parse correctly.

I'm now investigating alternative ways to strip out the data from the xml that I want, I've tried a jsui script but I'm terrible at javascript and I'd rather avoid it if at all possible. I'm attempting to use a text object, traverse the xml line by line and search using route but I'm not sure how to search for a string with a space and double quotes (see patch below). How do I search for a tag like so

? I have tried strchr as well but just keeps crashing max.

thanks in advance
Garrett

#P comment 166 348 169 196617 3) The space here is the main issue , are the double quotes an issue?;
