XML ada

XML ada

[Andy Ingram]

I have just started using XML/Ada.
I have been playing around and have managed to get to grips with nodes and
node lists to get a 'list' of elements with the same tag.  However i am now
trying to get the data within these tags.  I am attempting this by using
DOM.Core.Character_Datas.Data and passing it a node (obtained from my
nodelist).  This returns a DOM String.  How do i then use this DOM String as
a 'normal' string? I.e how do i output this to the display or store it in a
string for later use?
EG. below, i want to output all the values of 'name', ie..
***
bob
bill
***
<peoplelist>
  <person>
    <name>bob</name>
    ...
    ...
  </person>
  <person>
    <name>bill</name>
    ...
    ...
  </person>
</peoplelist>


Thanks for any help
Darren

   The format of a DOM string should be UTF-16 following the standard 
specification. This is not the same format that Ada uses for String 
characters.

   If you want to print a DOM string with XML Ada, use the Print_String 
function in Dom.Core.Nodes.

I can't seem to find the sources right now (I'll look again tomorrow), but I
have been through this exercise.

If I remember right, you can get at this information through the
DOM.Core.Nodes package.  Have a look at "Node_Name" and "Node_Value".  If I
can find my sources I wrote code at one point to dump the contents of all of
the XML elements.

Couldn't find my sample source code, but take a look at the implementation
of:
 "Print" in "DOM.Core.Nodes".
This may give the answers you're looking for.
