    For reference, the unicode value is 001a, hex value 1A which
    cause the error.
    

Local fix

  • Manually replace problematic characters and then rerun the
    import.
    

Problem summary

  • Importing a Debug Tool Code Coverage result that contains
    invalid xml characters results in a parsing exception.
    

Problem conclusion

  • RDz now filters the file for invalid characters before
    attempting to parse each line.
    

Temporary fix
