TinyXML looping over elements

Question

Using TinyXML to read an xml file. I want to loop over multiple elements but for some reason it only loops over the first element. A short example xml file would be: ``` ``` The code to loop is: ``` TiXmlElement* root = _waveDoc.FirstChildElement("root"); for(TiXmlElement* e = root->FirstChildElement("wave_manager"); e != NULL; e = root->NextSiblingElement("wave_manager")) { string wmName = e->Attribute("name"); } ``` So this only loops once and wmName does show WaveManager01, but then the for loop exists.

Accepted Answer

Your `for` statement is resetting the `e` element to root on every iteration. It is supposed to go to the next element in list - `e`.

Here is the correct code:

```
TiXmlElement* root = _waveDoc.FirstChildElement("root");

for(TiXmlElement* e = root->FirstChildElement("wave_manager"); e != NULL; e = e->NextSiblingElement("wave_manager"))
{
    string wmName = e->Attribute("name");

}
```
