SSIS XML source component "illegal characters" when generating the xsd...how to do find / replace in all xml element names

Hi there.

I've got no control over the xml's I receive and the element names contain dots. In the xml source component when generating the xsd file, SSIS doesn't allow some characters - the dot being one of them.

In SSIS or through SQL - how do I do a find / replace in all element names please? Obviously ignoring the data content.

In the interim - i've got an SQL script to create a table from the xml file which doesn't need an xds. But I'd like to do this through SSIS.

Thanks in advance. Jon
