    copied!<p>my XML knowledge is enough to get by. </p> <p>What I want to do is blindly parse an XML string and get all of the elements and attributes starting at the root. I can't use recursion like the example in the documentation and I can't seem to grasp how to do it with a loop. I know enough to get the root from the XML string and can loop through the string, but can't seem to get the attributes or text values.</p> <p>I do not know any names of any tags and need to figure them out as I parse. Anyone have any idea how I start or an example?</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Here is the code I have so far for a XML string like this, works unless its nested elements like the location and country:</p> <pre><code> string strData = "&lt;MyStuff mystring1=""111"" mystring2=""223""&gt;\ &lt;MYTAG1&gt;0&lt;/MYTAG1&gt;\ &lt;MYTAG2&gt;0&lt;/MYTAG3&gt;\ &lt;MYTAG4&gt;0&lt;/MYTAG4&gt;\ &lt;location&gt;&lt;country&gt;GreatBritain&lt;/country&gt;&lt;/location&gt;\ &lt;/MyStuff&gt;"; void parseXmlString2( TiXmlNode* root ) { TiXmlNode* child; TiXmlElement* elem = (TiXmlElement*)root; TiXmlAttribute* pAttrib = elem-&gt;FirstAttribute(); //This gets the root and its attributes. while(pAttrib) { cout &lt;&lt; "Value: " &lt;&lt; pAttrib-&gt;Name() &lt;&lt; ":" &lt;&lt; pAttrib-&gt;Value() &lt;&lt; endl; pAttrib=pAttrib-&gt;Next(); } //Now I want to parse up the rest. //Does not work if nested such as &lt;location&gt;&lt;country&gt;GreatBritain&lt;/country&gt;&lt;/location&gt; for( child = root-&gt;FirstChild(); child; child = child-&gt;NextSibling() ) { //Test For child. if(child-&gt;FirstChild()) { //My helper fuct to tell type //getType(child-&gt;FirstChild()-&gt;Type()); TiXmlNode* myChild; for( myChild = child-&gt;FirstChild(); myChild; myChild = child-&gt;IterateChildren(child-&gt;FirstChild())) { cout &lt;&lt; " " &lt;&lt; myChild-&gt;Value() &lt;&lt; endl; } } } </code></pre> <p>}</p>
