Hey, I'm pretty new to C++, and I've ran into a bit of a problem. I've got my program set up, the basic loading of config options done using TinyXML ( Meaning, loading them from a XML file :P ). However, I can't figure out how to get an int value. It always returns them as const char. Is there a way to get an int value from TinyXML, and if not, is there a way to convert the content of the char to a int? Thanks. :)

I use a modified TinyXml but there is a function for this.

Quote:
int TiXmlElement::QueryIntAttribute( const char* name, int* ival ) const

Edit:
here is the online docs for the API which you may find handy

Yeah, I have looked through there and found the IntValue() Function in the Attribute class, but alas, I have not figured out how to use it, and theres not much on the page there about it. Can anyone shed some light on this? :)
