Reading a xml file and parsing it using DOM parser

I am not that good with xml, but my basic xml file looks somthing like this.

Code:

---

<MAIN_HEADER>
 
  <HEADER>
    <TITLE>my_title</TITLE>
    <AUTOR>DNL</AUTOR>
    <NAME>John</NAME>
    <AGE>abc</AGE>
    <SEX>male</SEX>
    <PLACE>abc</PLACE>
    <INI_FILE>abc</INI_FILE>
 
  </HEADER>

---

what I want to do is, I need to find 2-3 tags, say for example NAME & SEX and store the attribute(John,Male) in another variable.

until now, I have been able to make it read the xml file.

Code:

---

void MainWindow::XMLParser()
{
        QString path=MainWindow::getWorkingDirectory()+"\\0_Config\\";
        QString string;
        string = path + ui->ConfigFiles_combo->currentText(); \\THIS IS WHERE´IT DETERMINES WHICH XML FILE IT IS
        qDebug()<<string;
        QDomDocument document;
        //load the file
        QFile file(string);
        if(!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
        {
            qDebug()<<"Failed to open the file";
 
        }
 
        else
        {
            if(!document.setContent(false))
            {
                qDebug()<<"Failed to load document";
 
            }
            file.close();
        }
        QDomElement root = document.firstChildElement();
        qDebug()<<"finished";
 
}

---

how do I make it search for the exact tag and store it inside another variable?

Your setContent() line is wrong, it is not getting the file.

Anyway, QDomDocument::elementsByTagName().

The example you show isn't valid XML. It should have a closing tag for <MAIN_HEADER>, as in </MAIN_HEADER>.
