i am able to parse the XML file. but i am facing strange error. My XML file format is like this

<contact>
   <contactServiceTag>3B92E6A7-B599-EAE9-1CB7B5592CB8695C</contactServiceTag>
   <contactDeletedBoolean>0</contactDeletedBoolean>
   <contactLinkStatus>Stored</contactLinkStatus>
   <contactName>P4</contactName>
   −
   <contactEmailAddresses>
     <workEmail>updatedp4@isol.co.in</workEmail>
     <personalEmail/>
     <otherEmail/>
   </contactEmailAddresses>
   <contactLastUpdated>{ts '2010-01-22 10:05:42'}</contactLastUpdated>
   <contactPhotoExists>False</contactPhotoExists>
</contact>

during the parsing, when parser parse the element contactLastUpdated , then foundCharacters method called multiple time and it return the value {ts on first run, \’ on second run, 2010-01-22 10:05:42 on third run,\’ on fourth run and finally } on last run. so i get only last value (}) when i called didEndElement method.

please suggest how can i resolve this type of error

    In your implementation of the <NSXMLParserDelegate> callbacks like parser:foundCharacters:, you should be storing the found characters in instance variables, possibly concatenating a string together, so that when parser:didEndElement:namespaceURI:qualifiedName: is invoked, you have the full element value/body available to your object through its instance variable state.

    You might also read up on the difference between SAX and DOM parsers. NSXMLParser is a SAX parser which is less convenient to use, but performs better than DOM parsers.
