            Bug ID: 415614
           Summary: .kmy file contains invalid characters
           Product: kmymoney
           Version: 5.0.7
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: file
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: alanjprescott at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

I wanted to examine my .kmy data file with a view to possibly being able to do
bulk edits on tags etc.
I gunzipped the .kmy file to produce what I expected to be a stock xml file and
tried to open and examine it.
QXMLEdit reported an error when I tried opening the xml file (error message
attached as qxmledit_error.png)
KDE's kate reported an error and trying to read the xml file in Python3 using
xml.etree.ElementTree module reported an error at the same place as QXMLEdit.
Examining the line reported in error I have found that there is a character 0
embeded in this line at the position shown in qxmledit_error.png (i.e. between
the 'k' and the double quote).

I should report that kmymoney works perfectly well with the original .kml file
but you may want to be aware of this in case invalid characters like this cause
problems further down the line.
