QtXml and special characters

[supergillis]

Hello,

I'm saving a QList of songs into an XML. That goes well but the loading doesn't work out very well

When I save for example the song "Björk - It's Oh So Quiet.mp3" you get this in the XML file:
<song title="It's Oh So Quiet" path="C:\Documents and Settings\Gillis\Mijn documenten\Mijn muziek\Apart\Björk - It's Oh So Quiet.mp3" artist="Björk" album="It's Oh So Quiet" id="66" />.

When I try to load the path or the artist the 'ö' changes in a '?' or other things...

This is how I load the attributes:

void parseSongElement(const QDomElement &element)
{
	int id = element.attribute("id").toInt();
	Song* song = new Song(id);
	song->path = element.attribute("path");
	song->info.title = element.attribute("title");
	song->info.artist = element.attribute("artist");
	song->info.album = element.attribute("album");
	currentPlaylist->append(song);
}

void parseSongElement(const QDomElement &element)
{
	int id = element.attribute("id").toInt();
	Song* song = new Song(id);
	song->path = element.attribute("path");
	song->info.title = element.attribute("title");
	song->info.artist = element.attribute("artist");
	song->info.album = element.attribute("album");
	currentPlaylist->append(song);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I have tried using element.attribute("path").toAscii() but that doesn't work either...

Thanks in advance,
Gillis

What is the type of song->info.title? Does this XML contain information about encoding?

What is the type of song->info.title? Does this XML contain information about encoding?

song->info.title is a QString and the XML hasn't got ecoding information...

How do you read the data into QDomDocument?

How do you read the data into QDomDocument?

This is how I load it:

QDomDocument domDocument;
QFile device("library.xml");
if(!device.open(QFile::ReadOnly))
{
	QMessageBox::warning(NULL, "Library", QString("Unable to load the library. Making a new one..."));
	return false;
}
QString errorStr;
int errorLine;
int errorColumn;
if(!domDocument.setContent(&device, true, &errorStr, &errorLine, &errorColumn))
{
	QMessageBox::information(NULL, QString("Library"), QString("Parse error at line %1, column %2:\n%3").arg(errorLine).arg(errorColumn).arg(errorStr));
	return false;
}

QDomDocument domDocument;
QFile device("library.xml");
if(!device.open(QFile::ReadOnly))
{
	QMessageBox::warning(NULL, "Library", QString("Unable to load the library. Making a new one..."));
	return false;
}
QString errorStr;
int errorLine;
int errorColumn;
if(!domDocument.setContent(&device, true, &errorStr, &errorLine, &errorColumn))
{
	QMessageBox::information(NULL, QString("Library"), QString("Parse error at line %1, column %2:\n%3").arg(errorLine).arg(errorColumn).arg(errorStr));
	return false;
}
