Error Message

Lexical error at line 35 in file "Test.ana":
  <definition>'  '</definition>
                ↑
Malformed XML while reading file: not well-formed.
Cannot continue reading from file.  The remainder of the model file will not be loaded into memory.

Cause

This error results when the XML model file is mal-formed -- meaning that it is not valid XML. In the above instance, it resulted when a bad character appeared in the file. It may also occur if an element does not have a matching closing tag, if a closing-tag does not match an opening tag, etc.

Remedy

You should be able to correct the underlying cause in the file using a text editor.

If Analytica is saving the XML is a mal-formed fashion, consider changing to the standard non-XML model file format (known as the Demos file format). If Analytica is saving in a mal-formed fashion, this is considered a bug and you should report it to support@lumina.com.
