Writing an XML file

[qball2k5]

What's the best way to write an XML file?

I tried using QFile and QTextStream...but any time I wanted to add something to the file...it would delete the current data. Is there a way to write to a file and not delete the contents?

I know about QDomDocument....but I'm having some difficultity trying to understand exactly how the formatting goes then getting to a file.

Thanks!

In what mode do you open that file?

I ReadWrite

I used ReadWrite? Is that wrong? Should I just use Write? Will that append?

Got it...use Append instead of ReadWrite...thanks!

Use QDom or SAX for writing XML files. It is the best way to do it...

SAX (and to a lesser extent DOM) is more approriate for parsing files, not writing them, QDomDocument::toString (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.1/qdomdocument.html#toString) does help to write a file.

Look at the Sax and Dom's examples in the QT distribution...
