Problem with Read and Write XML File

Punit

@Lifetime-Qt-Champion @Moderators
Hello,

I want to read an xml file and write some values.
Example:

<Entry Name="Browser.Dir.Triffort" Type="6" Value="Macintosh:Users:macwaves:Desktop:Jason:;Macintosh:Users:macwaves:Desktop:Max:;Macintosh:Users:macwaves:Desktop:Lucy:"></Entry>

I just want to check if Xml file contains "Entry Name="Browser.Dir.Triffort" Type="6" and if it contains I want to replace the value.

Just Like: if match found, then

Value="Macintosh:Users:macwaves:Desktop:Jason:;Macintosh:Users:macwaves:Desktop:Max:;Macintosh:Users:macwaves:Desktop:Lucy:"></Entry>

TO

Value=Macintosh:Users:macwaves:XYZ:;"></Entry>

Any Suggestions? I am using QXmlStreamReader.

Thanks

Why only to these? ;)

Example:

<Entry Name="Browser.Dir.Triffort" Type="6" Value="Macintosh:Users:macwaves:Desktop:Jason:;Macintosh:Users:macwaves:Desktop:Max:;Macintosh:Users:macwaves:Desktop:Lucy:"></Entry>

Is this the only content of your XML file? If yes, then it is not valid XML.

I have a xml file which looks like this:

<Entry Name="Browser.Dir.Recordings" Type="3" Value="Macintosh:Users:macwaves:Music:My:Recordings:"></Entry>

<Entry Name="Browser.Dir.Root" Type="3" Value="Macintosh:Users:macwaves:Documents:xml 2.10.2:"></Entry>

<Entry Name="Browser.ID3Mode" Type="1" Value="2"></Entry>

<Entry Name="Browser.ImportMusicFolderAtStartup" Type="0" Value="1"></Entry>

<Entry Name="Browser.KeyNotation.Displayed" Type="1" Value="2"></Entry>

So the file contains many elements, attributes and values. Now I want to check that if "Entry" element has a value "Browser.Dir.Root" and "Type" element is equals to "3". Like this:

<Entry Name="Browser.Dir.Root" Type="3" Value="Macintosh:Users:macwaves:Documents:xml 2.10.2:"></Entry>

Now if match found, I want to change the text in "Value" element. Like this:

In the above example, <Entry Name="Browser.Dir.Root" and Type="3".... So match found. Now I want to change text for "Value" like this.

So :

Before:
<Entry Name="Browser.Dir.Root" Type="3" Value="Macintosh:Users:macwaves:Documents:xml 2.10.2:"></Entry>

After:
<Entry Name="Browser.Dir.Root" Type="3" Value="Macintosh:Users:Hello"></Entry>

How can I achieve this? I don't know much about Xml. Hope you can understand my problem.

Thanks.

You may have a look at QDomDocument.

Problem is solved. Thanks a lot for your suggestion. :)

@the_ I was just about to yell at you for recommending QDomDocument (Qt Xml module) as it is deprecated. Turns out, it's no longer deprecated anymore (see QTBUG-32926). :-)

I did not notice that it has been depecated in any older Qt Version as I used QXmlStream{Reader,Writer} the one and only time I had to play with XML (I for myself do not like this format...) :)
