Hi Thanks for the help. I did not receive any message from Sean, but your
comments lead me in the right direction.
First I changed xmlData to:
NSData * xmlData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile: filePath];
Next I had a syntax error when declaring my NSArray and like you said it was
pointing to an empty array:
NSArray* result = [NSArray arrayWithArray:PerformXMLXPathQuery(xmlData,
@"//mynode")];
Final solution:
NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"manifest"
ofType:@"xml"];
NSData * xmlData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile: filePath];
NSArray* result = [NSArray arrayWithArray:PerformXMLXPathQuery(xmlData,
@"//mynode")];
As for your last point about learning C, I have picked up 2 books on the
subject and have been learning.
Thanks again for the help
Phil
