QXStreamreader' readnext function

[yagabey]

Hello,

I am trying to parse an xml doc. Considering the following xml data:

<item>
<title>New champion..</title>
<link>
http://www.radikal.com.tr/Radikal.aspx?aType=RadikalHaberDetay&ArticleID=919267&CategoryID=103
</link>

<item>
<title>New champion..</title>
<link>
http://www.radikal.com.tr/Radikal.aspx?aType=RadikalHaberDetay&ArticleID=919267&CategoryID=103
</link>
<description>http://www.radikal.com.tr/2009/01/30/</description>
</item>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

When i try to read the "link" parameter:

if (current == "link"){
    link = reader->text().toString();
    reader->readNext();
}

if (current == "link"){
    link = reader->text().toString();
    reader->readNext();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

"link" returns "http://www.radikal.com.tr/Radikal.aspx?aType=RadikalHaberDetay"

when once more i read next:

reader->readNext();

reader->readNext();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

"link" returns "&ArticleID=919267" and once more...:

reader->readNext();

reader->readNext();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

"link" returns "&CategoryID=103".

QXmlStreamreader splits "link" into three pieces(on "&" sections). I want to get all "link" in one read step. How can i achieve that?

Thanks in advance..

are you sure you don't have to escape those &s to & in your xml?

[yagabey]

Do you mean, i should parse it after replacing &s?

[yagabey]

I replaced "&" s by "&"s ; but the result didn't change.It behaves same..

I entered you link as text in my Qt based report designer, and it saves and loads without problem with QXmlStreamReader. Below is the exported file fyi. Do you have a proper xml header in your file?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE bpsreport>
<report name="New Report" paper="0" orientation="0" papersize="210,297" margins="10,10,10,10">

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Actually it is an rss file, it has no xml header; but it has an rss header:

<rss version="2.0">

<rss version="2.0">

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Does it make any difference for QXmlstreamreader?

[seneca]

Actually also RSS should have a valid XML header. Here is a sample from the specifications:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss version="2.0">
   <channel>
      <title>Liftoff News</title>
      <link>http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/</link>
...

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss version="2.0">
   <channel>
      <title>Liftoff News</title>
      <link>http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/</link>
...

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Oh my God..It already had all headers..I was opening the xml doc with firefox...So it does not show the headers..Sorry silly mistake :-)

Returning to the problem...The actual headers are:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

So they exist, why does QXmlStreamreader behave diferent for you and me

[seneca]

Hmm, since you are using namespace, would enabling them with setNamespaceProcessing (true) make a difference?

Other ideas:

• try to read my file above, to find if the file is to blame
• check for errors after every method call
• I am using 4.4.3, with older releases I had problems with formated xml files

.

[yagabey]

No luck...QXmlStreamreader continues to split "link"...
Anyway i made my application work in another tricky way..Thanks for help..
