QXmlStreamReader and reading an XML with data on multiple lines

[wysota]

You must have messed something up in your code. When I read text from an element, I get all the newlines and whitespaces.

Probably, though I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong. I'm using Qt 4.8.3 on Windows. Code snippet:

if (m_XmlReader.isStartElement())
{
    QString element = m_XmlReader.name().toString();
    m_XmlReader.readNext();
    if (element == "coordinates")
    {
	QString coordinateList= m_XmlReader.text().toString()
    }
}

if (m_XmlReader.isStartElement())
{
    QString element = m_XmlReader.name().toString();
    m_XmlReader.readNext();
    if (element == "coordinates")
    {
	QString coordinateList= m_XmlReader.text().toString()
    }
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

How did you open the file? And what did you do afterwards?

Does this give you a different result?

if (m_XmlReader.isStartElement())
{
    if (m_XmlReader.name() == "coordinates")
    {
	QString coordinateList= m_XmlReader.readElementText();
        // do stuff
    }
}

if (m_XmlReader.isStartElement())
{
    if (m_XmlReader.name() == "coordinates")
    {
	QString coordinateList= m_XmlReader.readElementText();
        // do stuff
    }
}

Not really. I moved from reading and parsing the xml myself to using libkml. Makes more sense anyway. Thanks for the help though.
