    Using the facilities of the QtXml or QtXmlPatterns module or QXmlStreamReader.

    How about you tell us what you have tried?

    I have tried with QDocDocument and I am always getting values as 1.4.1.2011.4.1.201?

    Qt Code:
    1. QList< QMap<QString,QString> > Package;
    2.  
    3. /* QDomDocument takes any QIODevice. as well as QString buffer*/
    4. QDomDocument doc("mydocument");
    5. if (!doc.setContent(xmlFile))
    6. {
    7. return;
    8. }
    9.  
    10. //Get the root element
    11. QDomElement docElem = doc.documentElement();
    12.  
    13. // you could check the root tag name here if it matters
    14. QString rootTag = docElem.tagName(); // == package
    15. QString fll = docElem.text();
    16.  
    17. // get the node's interested in, this time only caring about person's
    18. QDomNodeList nodeList = docElem.elementsByTagName("folder");
    19.  
    20. //Check each node one by one.
    21. for(int ii = 0;ii < nodeList.count(); ii++)
    22. {
    23. QMap<QString, QString> firmwarefolder;
    24.  
    25. // get the current one as QDomElement
    26. QDomElement el = nodeList.at(ii).toElement();
    27.  
    28. firmwarefolder["folder"] = el.attribute("folder"); // get and set the attribute ID
    29. firmwarefolder["file"] = el.attribute("file");
    30.  
    31. //get all data for the element, by looping through all child elements
    32. QDomNode pEntries = el.firstChild();
    33. while(!pEntries.isNull()) {
    34. QDomElement peData = pEntries.toElement();
    35. QString tagNam = peData.tagName();
    36.  
    37. if(tagNam == "folder") { /* We've found first name. */
    38. firmwarefolder["file"] = el.text();
    39. }else if(tagNam == "file") { /* We've found surname. */
    40. firmwarefolder["file"] = peData.text();
    41. }
    42.  
    43. pEntries = pEntries.nextSibling();
    44. }
    45.  
    46. Package.append(firmwarefolder);
    47. }

    The attribute you are looking for is called "name" and not "folder".

    You are getting the text of the <folder> and <file> elements that you are asking for at lines 38 and 40. If you want the value of the name attribute of these elements then you should ask for that.

    Do you understand the difference between XML attribute value and XML tag text?

    9. nodeList = docElem.elementsByTagName("file");
    10. for(int l = 0;j < nodeList.count(); l++)
    11. {
    12. QDomElement el = nodeList.at(l).toElement();

    The code has not been changed as far as I can see. There's still the obvious errors at line 38/40

    I have already told you what you need to query to retrieve the folder/file name from the <folder>/<file> element, and you are already using the relevant function. Wysota has already given you the name of the attribute you want. If you explain which part you do not understand we can help

    Kindly check the updated code..
    QDomNodeList nodeList = docElem.elementsByTagName("folder");
    for(int k = 0;k < nodeList.count(); k++)
    {
    QDomElement el = nodeList.at(k).toElement();
    firmFolder += el.attribute("name");
    firmFolder += "/";
    }

    nodeList = docElem.elementsByTagName("file");

    QDomElement el = nodeList.at(l).toElement();
    firmFiles += el.attribute("name");
    firmFiles += " ";

    In your code you are destroying the xml structure, instead using a flat list of tags. You need to recursively walk down the DOM tree.

    Find the top-most "folder" tag, then read its attribute, ask for the first child tag, if it is folder or file then process it, otherwise ignore it. Then proceed to the next sibling and keep doing the same until you reach the end of hierarchy.

    QDomNode::firstChild(), QDomNode::firstChildElement(), QDomNode::nextSibling(), QDomNode::nextSiblingElements() and QDomNode::toElement() are your friends.

    There is also a simple example in QDomElement docs.

    2. {
    3. QDomNodeList nodeList = docElem.elementsByTagName("folder");
    4. QDomElement el = nodeList.at(k).toElement();
    5. firmFolder += el.attribute("name");
    6. firmFolder += "/";

    You are still processing a flat list of tags. And you'll be doing that all the time until you get rid of "elementsByTagName" which gives you a flat list of elements. Please see the example in QDomElement.

    You will continue to get the same output if you continue to do the same things... so try something different. Wysota's list of documentation does not include elementsByTagName() because it gives you all the folder elements descended from a parent... and you do not want them all at once.

    If you want the first element perhaps a function with the word "first" in its name would be a good place to start.

    I have added this code and it worked for the current structure. However it stops after one execution. I couldnt get the second values of folder and file also. third values of folder and file.

    Analyze your own code. Take a piece of paper, a pencil and go step by step through your algorithm and you'll find out why it stops after finding the first file.
