Cannot read an attribute from an xml-file.

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have a bit of a problem reading an xml-file and I hope you can help. It would be greatly appreciated :)

The xml-file contains localisation data and looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Locale version="1.0.0">
    <Languages count="4">
        <Language name="Deutsch" code="de-DE" />
        <Language name="English" code="en-US" />
        <Language name="Deutsch" code="de-DE" />
        <Language name="English" code="en-US" />
    </Languages>
    <string identifier="AppName">
        <encoding code="de-DE" value="A&#x0;n&#x0;w&#x0;e&#x0;n&#x0;d&#x0;u&#x0;n&#x0;g&#x0;" />
        <encoding code="en-US" value="A&#x0;p&#x0;p&#x0;l&#x0;i&#x0;c&#x0;a&#x0;t&#x0;i&#x0;o&#x0;n&#x0;" />
    </string>

My code to read the value attribute looks like this:

TiXmlHandle docHandle( &doc );
TiXmlElement* encodingElem = docHandle.FirstChild( "Locale" ).FirstChild( "string" ).FirstChild("encoding").ToElement();
if ( encodingElem )
{
    // do something useful
    CString strValue;
    const char* strAttr = encodingElem->Attribute( "value" );
}

This only returns the first character of the string in value. I checked the memory and it contains the rest of the string:

strAttr 65 'A' const char
strAttr 0 const char
strAttr 110 'n' const char
strAttr 0 const char
strAttr 119 'w' const char
strAttr 0 const char
strAttr 101 'e' const char

I am guessing the format of the string might be UTF-16?
I think the 0 in position 1 is interpreted as the end of the string.
How can I read this string properly?

Thank you!
Christian

meh, I removed the � bits using a text editor and now the text reads fine. That's all I wanted at the moment.
