macOS Simple XML Attribute Question

[Nalp2010]

I'm new to programming/ OS X/XML so this question may sound dumb ...


I have some XML data that looks like this -

<MyDocument>
<file subject="MyData" date="1228948010">

<segments>
			<segment bytes="362415" number="1">2008121023265016-dol@herecom</segment>
			<segment bytes="362397" number="1">2008121023265343-dol@herecom</segment>
			<segment bytes="362394" number="1">2008121023344097-dol@herecom</segment>
</segments>
</file>
</MyDocument>

What I'm trying to find is some example code (Cocoa) that very simply shows how to obtain the attributes, and print them out, for the segment entries e.g. bytes, number. I've tried to make sense of the Apple example but, being a novice, it's not clicking for me. Thanks in advance.

Check out the NSXML API instead. It's a bit easier.

Just for any other beginners out there the solution to getting the attribute was -

int bytes=[[[aElement attributeForName:@"bytes"] stringValue] integerValue];
