DomDocument to XML: producing empty files

[athomas]

Hello,
I am trying to take a QDomDocument and write to a .xml. I have got so far but now I can only produce empty documents.

QDomDocument doc("MyML");
    QDomElement root = doc.createElement("MyML");
    doc.appendChild(root);
 
    QDomElement tag = doc.createElement("greetings");
    root.appendChild(tag);
 
    QDomText t = doc.createTextNode("Hello World");
    tag.appendChild(t);
 
    QString xml = doc.toString();
    cout << qPrintable(xml) << endl;
 
 
    QFile file("something.xml");
    if (!file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly))
    {
        QTextStream TextStream(&file);
        TextStream << xml;
        file.close();
    }
 
    return 0;

QDomDocument doc("MyML");
    QDomElement root = doc.createElement("MyML");
    doc.appendChild(root);

    QDomElement tag = doc.createElement("greetings");
    root.appendChild(tag);

    QDomText t = doc.createTextNode("Hello World");
    tag.appendChild(t);

    QString xml = doc.toString();
    cout << qPrintable(xml) << endl;


    QFile file("something.xml");
    if (!file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly))
    {
        QTextStream TextStream(&file);
        TextStream << xml;
        file.close();
    }

    return 0;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and this produces

<!DOCTYPE MyML>
<MyML>
 <greetings>Hello World</greetings>
</MyML>

<!DOCTYPE MyML>
<MyML>
 <greetings>Hello World</greetings>
</MyML>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks,
a.

the test of your open is wrong

the test of your open is wrong

not particularly helpful... any more to add? something like doc.setContent? I haven't looked at it in a couple of days. I'll try again tomorrow I think.

----------FIXED-------------

Fixed the problem, really silly mistake.

QFile file("something.xml");
    if (file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly))
    {
        QTextStream TextStream(&file);
        TextStream << xml;
        file.close();
    }
 
    return 0;

QFile file("something.xml");
    if (file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly))
    {
        QTextStream TextStream(&file);
        TextStream << xml;
        file.close();
    }

    return 0;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Changed the condition in the if loop. Removed not operator, duh! Works perfectly now.
