another issue just came up ....

i have come across some xml files that have the following:

-

don't mind the "-" as this what i did to post the text in the forum. The first element of -<Circuit> is fine as you can see but below you can see where the file has gotten corrupted and there is a bunch of -</Circuits> ... some are even incomplete within the < identifiers. I would like to truance the bulk load at the end of the good data. This is giving me a sql server first exception error.
