Well the test file I'm trying to run this on is 40,000 lines long  
(I've got around 40 files and they're all either around that or  
bigger).  So it's probably not much point trying to post it.  But to  
show you a little snippet, these four lines at the start :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<FMPReport link="Summary.xml" type="Report" creationDate="4/10/2005"  
creationTime="11:01:50 AM">
<File name="DEV_CAR.fp7" path="/Users/nick/Desktop/Clients/CCP-Bambra  
MIS/New">
<BaseTableCatalog>
	<BaseTable id="32769" name="CAR" records="2">

get turned into this :

��< ? x m l   v e r s i o n = " 1 . 0 "    
e n c o d i n g = " U T F - 1 6 " ? > 
 < F M P R e p o r t   l i n k = " S u m m a r y . x m l "    
t y p e = " R e p o r t "    
c r e a t i o n D a t e = " 4 / 1 0 / 2 0 0 5 "    
c r e a t i o n T i m e = " 1 1 : 0 1 : 5 0   A M " > 
 	 < F i l e   n a m e = " D E V _ C A R . f p 7 "   p a t h = " /  
U s e r s / n i c k / D e s k t o p / C l i e n t s / C C P -  
B a m b r a   M I S / N e w " > 
 	 	 < B a s e T a b l e C a t a l o g > 

(obviously there a closing tags later in the document).  So it's  
doing the indent fine (which is what I'm after, but also adding extra  
spaces to everything.)

Thanks,
Nick
