[QE-users] FoX: xml_AddCharacters Error

[Mr. Sheharyar Pervez RA FES]

I am not sure if that's the case. Of the two attached files doing an scf calculation on si.in does return an xml file but the other one returns the error mentioned above.

Hello
It's most likely a bug, hopefully one of those that were fixed in the newer versions.

When running an scf calculation on QE 6.4.1, I get the following from FoX:
ERROR(FoX)
xml_AddCharacters: Invalid character in chars

The calculation runs fine but no xml file is generated.  the following files are created:

.
├── kgec.in
├── qmof-f2ae0a5.save
│   ├── charge-density.dat
│   ├── data-file-schema.xml
│   └── paw.txt
├── qmof-f2ae0a5_scf.in
├── qmof-f2ae0a5_scf.out
└── qmof-f2ae0a5.wfc1

I'm not sure where this invalid character comes from because the entire input file is in standard ascii format. How to go about solving this?
