Hi,

I have a XML file which contains some values with sapace for a node. When i am trying to read the valeu from VC++ I am getting the values without the space. How can I read the complete value without getting the spaces trimmed off.

Example of XML file:

HTML

<Parameter>
    <ParameterName>UserOptions/OperatingSystemSettings/Password</ParameterName>
    <ParameterValue> sudhir </ParameterValue>
</Parameter>

In above XML observe the space at the beginning and the end of the value sudhir. Below is the code I have to read the value.

C++

hr = ((MSXML2::IXMLDOMElement*)objXmlNode)->getElementsByTagName(strParameterValueNode)->Getitem(0)->get_text(&strParameterValue);

Please let me know if any one knows how to read the complete values.

Regards,
Sudhir

This post is a quote from Stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1927006/in-c-how-to-get-xml-node-value-that-is-white-space[^].

"Assuming you are using XmlDocument, you should set the PreserveWhiteSpace property to True. If using and XmlReader set the WhitespaceHandling property WhitespaceHandling.All. See this MSDN article about Preserving White Space While Serializing. The different serializers handle this different ways, try using the XmlTextReader for this, as per this forum post.

You just need to set the preserveWhiteSpace to true. Check the link for more info:
