Thread: How do I parse an XML file?

Good morning,


I've been trying with various libraries (everything from pugixml to RapidXML) but have been unable to parse a simple XML file. I want to grab all the inner text of each page->text into separate std::string's., so 1 page per std::string.


My RapidXML attempt: https://ideone.com/XWylb


My pugiXML attempt: https://ideone.com/RzN6X


XML file: https://ideone.com/wrG13


Can you help me get one to work?


Thanks for all suggestions,


Alec Taylor


PS: Preferably I would like the RapidXML one to work.

Try tinyxml. Google it.

I know I'm meant to use strcmp, but that isn't the cause of the problem.

Just tried with tinyxml++, couldn't get it to work: https://ideone.com/yC1l8

Nope, only the pugixml and tinyxml++ have ended like that, RapidXML partially works.

Figured out the rapidxml version.
