parse string with tags

Question

Hi all, I am receiving a chunk of data from PBX in string with tags included. Something like this:

</response><rid>2</rid><name>2101<name><PeerList></PeerList><status>UNKNOWN</status>

cont...till it fetches all the names/users from the PBX.

what i need to do is to parse this string data to retrieve name & status and update in to the table where i can add the user into iPhone's phonebook. I've started with NSScanner but eventually i messed up with that. if anyone has any idea please help me out!!!!

Answer 1

You have received an XML file, use an XML parser first.

What language/OS/environment are you using?

NSScanner seems to be Mac specific.

Answer 2

Check out NSXMLParser or a third-party framework such as TouchXML.
