Hello,
I want to read some values from a XML file by QDomDocument class.  But I always fail. So I hope someone know how to read atributes with QDomDocument . My XML file looks like: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xbel>
<xbel name="project" version="1.0" date="Di Jul 21 2015" size="0" item_count="0">
  <settings/>
  <disk projecttype="1" name="Disk[New]"  arranger=""/>
</xbel>

Open in new window


I want to read the attribute projecttype that can stay in front or behind name. (Not my idea).

Any help will be welcome.

Example code with details of the errors you get would be useful.

Hi,
I have found some code in the internet and have rewritten to my needs. Works like a charme. Here is the code I use:

  QDomDocument doc;
  doc.setContent(&domFile);

  int nDiskType = -1;

  QDomNodeList diskList = doc.elementsByTagName("disk");

  for (int i = 0; i < diskList.count(); i++)
  {
      if (i < diskList.count())
      {
          QDomElement node = diskList.at(i).toElement();
          if (node.hasAttribute("projecttype"))
          {
              nDiskType = node.attribute("projecttype").toInt();
              break;
          }
      }
  }


  domFile.close();
