Hi everyone.
I'm a noob learning C. C99, to be precise. I've decided to code a
Wikipedia bot in C. I know it's probably not the best language to
choose...
My code successfully logs in via the Wikimedia API. In order to do so,
I need to parse this kind of result:
<?xml version="1.0"?><api><login result="Success" lguserid="14084680"
lgusername="RichardcavellBot"
lgtoken="b0aa68b61c803e96144d82e0f535d63b" cookieprefix="enwiki"
sessionid="bb538415baebda74e35ff6262dc92e19" /></api>
All I really want is to pass the term "login result" to a function and
get "Success" in reply, or indeed whatever else is in those quotes. At
the moment I'm doing it using <string.h> and it works, but is probably
not very future-proof nor very professional. Should I be using libxml?
If so, how do I do it without getting bogged down in parsing an XML
tree?
Richard
