Question

Right now, I save my data by simply rewriting the file requested by the user. The way my xml is structured is like this:

Skeleons root
    Skeleton with string name attribute
       bone with attributes
       bone with attributes
       bone with attributes
       bone with attributes
    end Skeleton
   Skeleton with string name attribute
       bone with attributes
       bone with attributes
       bone with attributes
       bone with attributes
    end Skeleton
    ....
   end Skeletons root

I iterate through to see if the skeleton of desired name exists and if it does I want to completely rewrite it. If not, I want to add it to the bottom of the root element.

Does anyone have an example of this?

Thanks

Basically, this is just a matter of splitting the steps.

First, define a TiXmlElement * and set it to 0. Iterate over all children of Skeletons. If you find the correct Skeleton, point your TiXmlElement * to it.

Secondly, if you haven’t found it (TiXmlElement * still 0), create a new Skeleton and point your TiXmlElement * to it.

Finally, create a new bone underneath that TiXmlElement *.
