help in reading XML file

[cshiva_in]

Hi All

I am just a beginner of Qt. So Pls excuse me if I have made some silly errors. I was trying to parse a simple XML file and wanted to show it on a simple interface. I have got the code here...

test.cpp

#include<qfile.h>
#include<qdom.h>
#include<iostream.h>
 
QFile file("simple.xml");
if(!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
{
  qDebug("Failed to open file for reading");
  return -1;
}
 
QDomDocument document;
if(!document.setContent(&file))
{
  qDebug("Failed to parse the file into a DOM tree");
  file.close();
  return -1; 
}
 
file.close();
 
QDomElement documentElement = document.documentElement();
QDomNode node = document.firstChild();
while(!node.isNull())
{
  if(node.isElement())
    {
      QDomElement element = node.toElement();
      cout<<"Element"<<element.tagName();
      cout<<"Element attribute name"<<element.attribute("name", "not set")	
    }
 
 
if (node.isText())
{
  QDomText text = node.toText();
  qDebug << text.data();
}
 
  node=node.nextSibling();
}

#include<qfile.h>
#include<qdom.h>
#include<iostream.h>

QFile file("simple.xml");
if(!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
{
  qDebug("Failed to open file for reading");
  return -1;
}

QDomDocument document;
if(!document.setContent(&file))
{
  qDebug("Failed to parse the file into a DOM tree");
  file.close();
  return -1; 
}

file.close();

QDomElement documentElement = document.documentElement();
QDomNode node = document.firstChild();
while(!node.isNull())
{
  if(node.isElement())
    {
      QDomElement element = node.toElement();
      cout<<"Element"<<element.tagName();
      cout<<"Element attribute name"<<element.attribute("name", "not set")	
    }


if (node.isText())
{
  QDomText text = node.toText();
  qDebug << text.data();
}

  node=node.nextSibling();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This is the error which I got.

test.cpp:6: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘if’
test.cpp:13: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘if’
test.cpp:20: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘.’ token
test.cpp:24: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘while’
make: *** [test.o] Error 1

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and here is the XML file

<document name="DocName">
  <author name="AuthorName" />
</document>

<document name="DocName">
  <author name="AuthorName" />
</document>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

If anyone could help it would be absolute gr8!!!!

Cheers

I'm not in mood to get into details but I think all this is supposed to be part of a function

QFile file("simple.xml");
if(!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
{
qDebug("Failed to open file for reading");
return -1;
}

QDomDocument document;
if(!document.setContent(&file))
{
qDebug("Failed to parse the file into a DOM tree");
file.close();
return -1;
}

file.close();

QDomElement documentElement = document.documentElement();
QDomNode node = document.firstChild();
while(!node.isNull())
{
if(node.isElement())
{
QDomElement element = node.toElement();
cout<<"Element"<<element.tagName();
cout<<"Element attribute name"<<element.attribute("name", "not set")
}


if (node.isText())
{
QDomText text = node.toText();
qDebug << text.data();
}

node=node.nextSibling();
}
