How to write specific tag in existing XML using QXmlStreamWriter ?

MECoder

Hello,
i have an existing XML file that i parse with QXmlStreamReader, calculate somre results and later i want to write these results to the existing XML directly into the tag
<Results>
</Results>
My problem is to finde this tag within the XML file with the QXmlStreamWriter class. Sure, i can find the StartElement <Results> with QXmlStreamReader, but how does this
help. How can i write to a specific tag in an existing XML file without writing the complete XML fiel again?
Can anyone give me a hint?
Thx

The XML looks like this and between the tags Data and Points a lot of other tags.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Calibration version="0.5">
	<Sensor sn="" type="">
		<BinFile></BinFile>
		<Data>
		</Data>
		<Points>
		</Points>
		<Results>
		</Results>
	</Sensor>
</Calibration>

You can't update an actual XML text file (just like you can't for any text file). You have to rewrite the whole new XML over the whole file.
