OK. Let me explain again. I have a xml file. I need to find out the special characters from that xml file except A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and the following list of symbols -

_ (underscore) , (comma) () (first brackets) & (ampersand) ; (semi colon) {} (2nd brackets) % (percentage) + (plus) < (less than) > (greater than) / (front slash) : (colon) = (equal to) . (dot) ' ' (space) " (double quotes) - (hyphen) \ (backslash) $ (dollar) and * (asterisks).

Apart from the above list any characters, symbols should be considered as invalid and need to find out the same.
