From the tinyXML doc:

Add tinyxml.cpp, tinyxml.h, tinyxmlerror.cpp, tinyxmlparser.cpp, tinystr.cpp, and tinystr.h to your project or make file. That's it! It should compile on any reasonably compliant C++ system. You do not need to enable exceptions or RTTI for TinyXML.

Most of the XML parsers seems to be much more complex then I need it to be, is there something that would allow me to point to a value and read it in one line of code?

I figured out how to use an ini parser in minutes but I don't know enough to understand XML parsers...

This is what I had for ini files

Quote:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "IniFile.h"
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>

std::string FileName = "test.ini";
int s;

using namespace std;

int main()
{
// Creat the ini file
CIniFile::Create(FileName);

// Create a Section called Section1, and a key/value of IP=127.0.0.1
CIniFile::SetValue("IP","127.0.0.1","Section 1",FileName);

// Get the value of IP in section Section1 and store it in s
int s = CIniFile::GetValue("IP","Section 1",FileName);
cout << s << endl;
system("pause");

return 0;
}

I just need something similar to and ini files but let me divide sections into subsections, load the file, read and write values to the file, and save it.

I don't know a lot right now and this is just confusing me.

Anyone?

from BeatifulSoup load BeautifulStoneSoup as BS

this is python, don't know what language you're working in here...

basically, use BS to parse through the XML file, it may be a bit confusing, but its very powerful, and can do alot of things...

then you can print out to files as needed... and store loacally and just have it overwrite or catenate to the files each time it loads?

Hi Darkknight,

I strongly recommend if your going to be parsing XML data using TinyXML, i've used it for countless games i've made its probably the best libary out there for c++ and there is a non stl version which is awesome if your console programing.

Code:

<Level name="levelname">
      <monster>
           <monster name="" type=""  hp="" x="" y""/>
           <monster name="" type=""  hp="" x="" y""/>
           <monster name="" type=""  hp="" x="" y""/>
           <monster name="" type=""  hp="" x="" y""/>
     </monster>
     <item>
           <item name="" x="" y"">
     </item>
</Level>

oh forgot here is a some code on how to use tinyxml if your stuck

keep in mind this is off the top of my head

Code:

TiXmlDocument *xmlDoc; //this will hold your file that needs to be past
TiXmlElement *xmlRoot, *xmlNodes; //xml file structure

xmlDoc = new TiXmlDocument(); //dynamicly create a object of TIXMLDocument on the heap
xmlDoc->Parse(/*File*/);

xmlNodes = xmlRoot->FirstChildElement("monster");

if(xmlNodes) // read into the file
{
       TiXmlElement *xmlMonster, *xmlItem;
       
       std::string monsterName = xmlNode->Attribute("name");
       std::string type = xmlNode->Attribute("type");
       Vector2 tempV;
       tempV.x = xmlNode->Attribute("x");
       tempV/y = xmlNode->Attribute("y");

}

delete xmlDoc; //Clean up the object off the heap, "close the file"

Thank's I'll look into that when I got some free time, been a little busy the past week.
