Converting from wide characters to standard C++ strings

["Harelick, Matthew" <MH...@ise.com>]

Hi:

I know that my parser will not be used to process wide character strings.


1)      How do I derive a standard c++ string from XMLCh* ?

2)      How do I derive it such a way that I can manage the memory myself and not be forced to use XMLString::Release.


I want to use Xerces to process my xml doc, but once the information is captured I would like to terminate it and manage the data myself.  I do not want to have to use the Xerces representation and memory management for the full life of my application.

Thanks

Hi Matthew Harelick,

You can use XMLString::transcode to convert "XMLCh" based string into
"char" based string. The memory would be allocated by Xerces but you
can immediately assign it to std::string object and release the memory
using XMLString::release. Ofcourse this is not a straight forward way
but it works.

Thanks & Regards,
