I am not that good with xml, but my basic xml file looks somthing like this.

Qt Code: 
  1. <MAIN_HEADER>
  2.  
  3.   <HEADER>
  4.     <TITLE>my_title</TITLE>
  5.     <AUTOR>DNL</AUTOR>
  6.     <NAME>John</NAME>
  7.     <AGE>abc</AGE>
  8.     <SEX>male</SEX>
  9.     <PLACE>abc</PLACE>
  10.     <INI_FILE>abc</INI_FILE>
  11.  
  12.   </HEADER>
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

what I want to do is, I need to find 2-3 tags, say for example NAME & SEX and store the attribute(John,Male) in another variable.

until now, I have been able to make it read the xml file.

Qt Code: 
  1. void MainWindow::XMLParser()
  2. {
  3.         QString path=MainWindow::getWorkingDirectory()+"\\0_Config\\";
  4.         QString string;
  5.         string = path + ui->ConfigFiles_combo->currentText(); \\THIS IS WHERE´IT DETERMINES WHICH XML FILE IT IS
  6.         qDebug()<<string;
  7.         QDomDocument document;
  8.         //load the file
  9.         QFile file(string);
  10.         if(!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
  11.         {
  12.             qDebug()<<"Failed to open the file";
  13.  
  14.         }
  15.  
  16.         else
  17.         {
  18.             if(!document.setContent(false))
  19.             {
  20.                 qDebug()<<"Failed to load document";
  21.  
  22.             }
  23.             file.close();
  24.         }
  25.         QDomElement root = document.firstChildElement();
  26.         qDebug()<<"finished";
  27.  
  28. }
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

how do I make it search for the exact tag and store it inside another variable?
