    Default Reading a xml file and parsing it using DOM parser

    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?

    Your setContent() line is wrong, it is not getting the file.

    Anyway, QDomDocument::elementsByTagName().

    Cheers,

    The example you show isn't valid XML. It should have a closing tag for <MAIN_HEADER>, as in </MAIN_HEADER>.
    I write the best type of code possible, code that I want to write, not code that someone tells me to write!
