Thomas,
That is an nmap output bug as far as I can see .. should be using
single quotation marks for the nested quotes as the double-quotes
used the way they are are not XML-conformant.
Work around? Pre-process the output, maybe something like
nmap options options options -oX - | \
perl -p -e 's/=("\S+=)"([^"]+)"/$1'"'"'$2'"'"'/g' | \
your_program_that_reads_from_standard_input
in a Bourne shell derivative. That will catch cases like the one you
listed below until there is a patch in place.
Regards,
Max
