Hello,

I am trying to parse simple xml file and process text value in elements 
(eg. <e>some text</e>).
but when my "processText" functions gets called on text element....it 
also contains ending tag.....

How can I get only text....i am sure that library is not designed to 
return ending tag in text value
of xml element.

I accept posibility that I am doing soemthing wrong.....

Here are the files.
Tnx.


test.xml
----------------------------------------------------

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<main>
    
    <data> some data </data>

</main>


----------------------------------------------------


with the following code...



parse_test.c
----------------------------------------------------

#include <stdio.h>
#include <expat.h>

static int status=0;
const char *gname;


static void XMLCALL
startElement(void *userData, const char *name, const char **atts)
{
   
    if(!strcmp(name,"data")) status = 1;


    printf("<%s>\n",name);
    gname = name;
   
 
}

static void XMLCALL
endElement(void *userData, const char *name)
{
    printf("</%s>\n",name);
}


static void XMLCALL
processText(void *userData, const char *data, int len)
{
   
    if(status && !strcmp(gname,"data")){
        printf("[%s]",data);
        status = 0;
    }

   
}




int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  char buf[BUFSIZ];
  XML_Parser parser = XML_ParserCreate(NULL);
  int done=0;
  int depth = 0;
  XML_SetUserData(parser, &depth);
  XML_SetElementHandler(parser, startElement, endElement);
  XML_SetCharacterDataHandler(parser,processText);
  FILE *fp;

  fp = fopen(argv[1],"r");


  while(fgets(buf,BUFSIZ,fp)) {
       
    if(feof(fp)) done=1;
     
    if (XML_Parse(parser, buf, strlen(buf), done) == XML_STATUS_ERROR) {
          fprintf(stderr,
                  "%s at line %d\n",
                  XML_ErrorString(XML_GetErrorCode(parser)),
                  XML_GetCurrentLineNumber(parser));
        return 1;
        }
   
  }
 
 
  fclose(fp);
  XML_ParserFree(parser);
 
  return 0;
}
