Hi,

Code: Select all

<object>
   <attributes>
      <data name="adhar" value="non" />
      <data name="barbu" value="non" />
      <int name="Id" value="16" />
      <string name="name" value="Ashara" />
   </attributes>
</object>

I am having a little problem to parse the data tag. I want to parse it by its tag. How do I do it?

when you use the XML reader, you read "nodes" from the XML file. These nodes have names so you can know where you are at each moment and have the attributes the XML tag might have. What are you trying to do? perhaps posting some code would help big deal

Sorry, I typed that from my phone so could not explain it.
Say, I have a xml file like -

Code: Select all

 
<npc>
 
   <object>
      <attributes>
         <data name="one" value="non" />
         <data name="two" value="non" />
         <int name="id" value="-1" />
         <string name="name" value="Ashara" />
      </attributes>
   </object>
 
   <object>
      <attributes>
         <data name="one" value="non" />
         <data name="two" value="bone" />
         <int name="id" value="-1" />
         <string name="name" value="Talim" />
      </attributes>
   </object>
 
</npc>
 

These are two Npc object with their attributes.

Code: Select all

 
while(xml->read())
{
   switch(xml->getNodeType())
   {
      case EXN_ELEMENT:
      {
         if(tag.equals_ignore_case(xml->getNodeName())
         {
            IAttributes* attr = fs->createEmptyAttributes(driver);
            attr->read(xml);
 
            // Load Nps data
            // Don't know
 
            // Load id and names
            s32 id = attr->getAttributesAsInt("id");
            stringc name = attr->getAttributeAsString("name");
 
            // Create Npcs
            -----------------
            -----------------
         }
      }
   }
}
 

How do I load the data tag from each objects cos it is required while creating Nps?

Irrlicht xml reads "nodes" (tags, whether opening or closing), so when you read a tag (a node) it has immediately the attributes, if any, you just have to query them. I suggest you to read the source code of the irr scene loader to understand better how Irrlicht handles the XML files

[CuteAlien]

What is the value of "tag"? Is it "Attributes"?
Note that there is also an xml reader example in Irrlicht.

Sorry for late reply. I solved it, thank you.
