.xml to .txt

[flex567]

This is how my .xml page looks in a web browser. Is there a way to transform my .xml file into .txt file so that the text file would look like this?

An XML document is essentially already "text" though, so I am not sure what you are asking.

I am not saying that .xml is not text.

So what are you saying? Sorry, but the image you linked to is too blurred for me to make out what you are trying to do.

I'm not sure what you'd expect to get out of the file either. What would you expect that file to look like as a ".txt" file?

I would like the .txt to look like this.

It would be easier to parse the file, I could use the getline() function for example.

Why don't you just use an existing XML parser library?

I can use just STD

If you want help, you'll need to explain yourself. How is your txt file different from your xml file?

I don't have any text file. There is just the .xml file. I would like to create the text file from the .xml that would look like this:

Okay, if I get this right: you have an XML document that you find hard to parse with getline. You want to transform it into a ".txt file" that is essentially the XML document formatted nicely for you to parse with getline to extract tag by tag and element by element. You only want to use standard library facilities. If so, this is a chicken and egg scenario: you cannot have your program format the XML document without reading and parsing it, but if your program can read and parse it, then you don't need it formatted nicely for reading.

You're not making this easy. What is different between the two files?

[flex567]

It would be easier to parse it. I could you getline function for example. I already manage to create a .txt file, it took me 10 min to manually select it all.

Post the contents of both example files here in [code][/code] bbcode tags and explain what exactly is the difference between them. Note that "easier to parse" it is not a difference that matters to us: what matters is what it is about the format that makes one "easier to parse" according to you.
