i want to manupulate a element-text of a xml-file like this: <element>text</element> ==> <element>manupulated text</element>.
for the parsing of the xml-file i use SAX, but i have no idea how i have to manipulate the text and write it back into the xml-file.

SAX is purely an API for reading XML, so SAX in itself does not
provide any way of writing an updated file.

But it is relative simple to do - you can write out
start tag with attributes in startElement and
modified content + end tag in endElement.
