Question

how to parse 2 URL’s using NSXMLParser in the same file? I have tried it like this:

[self parseXMLFileAtURL:url1];
[self parseXMLFileAtURL:url2];

- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict{    
    //here both url's returns the same data (element names are same), so how will I differentiate data between first URL & second URL.

    if(url1 data) { 
        //do something
    }
    if(url2 data) { 
        //do something
    }
}

so help me to find a way to differentiate.

The first parameter called parser is the current parser instance used.
This is the way to know which file you are currently parsing.

Alloc/init two separate instances of NSXMLParser, and start parsing your two files with.
Assuming they are ivar a simple == test would tell you which one is used.
