What exactly are you trying to get, the name of the node, or a value?

JRM

[Halan]

a value

[Spintz]

Code: Select all

core::stringw wStr = xmlReader->getAttributeValue();

Then you can get the wchar_t* data by using the c_str function of core::stringw.

[vitek]

The XML reader class IIrrXMLReader is a template. Within Irrlicht, there are two types that are available-- IXMLReader and IXMLReaderUTF8. The first of those uses wchar_t internally and always returns wchar_t strings.

If you are not using Irrlicht, but are using IrrXML directly, there are the createIrrXMLReader family of functions that return XML readers for 8, 16 and 32-bit characters.

yeah thats the point stringw is not implented in irrxml:S

then use mbstowcs and vice versa, or as Vitek said.

I personally don't like irrXML at all. I hate XML altogether in fact. But everyone else uses it, so I'm screwed.

[Halan]

well spintz what do you prefer instead of xml?
