I am new to iPhone developer,
I made epub reader for my application, in which i want to fetch all the value of <text>
tag from my local .html
page and i want to store it in my array.
For eg:
This is my toc.html
file, from this file i want to fetch all the value of <text>
tag,
<navMap>
<navPoint class="chapter" id="navpoint-1" playOrder="1">
<navLabel>
<text>Cover</text>
</navLabel>
<content src="Morning Insight 26 April - K S 2/Morning Insight 26 April - K S 2/Morning Insight 26 April - K S/Morning Insight 26 April - K S/Morning Insight/OEBPS/first.html"/>
</navPoint>
<navPoint class="chapter" id="navpoint-2" playOrder="2">
<navLabel>
<text>News</text>
</navLabel>
<content src="Morning Insight 26 April - K S 2/Morning Insight 26 April - K S 2/Morning Insight 26 April - K S/Morning Insight 26 April - K S/Morning Insight/OEBPS/1.html"/>
</navPoint>
<navPoint class="chapter" id="navpoint-3" playOrder="3">
<navLabel>
<text>Report</text>
</navLabel>
<content src="Morning Insight 26 April - K S 2/Morning Insight 26 April - K S 2/Morning Insight 26 April - K S/Morning Insight 26 April - K S/Morning Insight/OEBPS/2.html"/>
</navPoint>
<navPoint class="chapter" id="navpoint-4" playOrder="4">
<navLabel>
<text>Economy Update</text>
</navLabel>
<content src="Morning Insight 26 April - K S 2/Morning Insight 26 April - K S 2/Morning Insight 26 April - K S/Morning Insight 26 April - K S/Morning Insight/OEBPS/3.html"/>
</navPoint>
<navMap>
finally my array should have:
array at 0: Cover
array at 1: News
array at 2: Report
array at 3: Economy Update
EDIT:
- (NSString *)dataFilePath:(BOOL)forSave {
NSLog(@"Path of my file=%@",TOC);
return TOC;
}
-(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated{
[super viewDidLoad];
TOCArray=[[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
NSString *filePath = [self dataFilePath:FALSE];
NSData *response = [[NSMutableData alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
GDataXMLDocument *doc = [[GDataXMLDocument alloc] initWithData:response options:0 error:nil];
NSArray *navPoints = [[[doc.rootElement elementsForName:@"navMap"] lastObject] elementsForName:@"navPoint"];
for (GDataXMLElement *m in navPoints)
{
NSArray *navLabel = [m elementsForName:@"navLabel"];
for (GDataXMLElement *e in navLabel)
{
NSArray *text = [e elementsForName:@"text"];
[TOCArray addObject:[text objectAtIndex:0]];
}
}
for (int i=0; i<[TOCArray count]; i++) {
NSLog(@"Toc array=%@",[TOCArray objectAtIndex:i]);
}
}
My log Shows: Path of my file=/Users/krunal/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/5.0/Applications/D414BC19-C005-4D93-896D-A6FB71DE4D21/Documents/UnzippedEpub/toc.ncx
but my array is still null.
here is my toc.ncx
file http://www.mediafire.com/?4r883s80he23cua

I did some xml parsing for an app using GData
& TouchXML
..
Create an array to hold values.
Assuming your call to service returns NSData
stored in response. Create a GDataXMLDocument
object from it.
- (NSArray*)textArrayFromNCX
{
NSMutableArray *values = [NSMutableArray array];
// get the toc.ncx from documents folder
NSString *docPath = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) lastObject];
docPath = [docPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"UnzippedEpub"];
NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"toc" ofType:@"ncx" inDirectory:docPath];
// init the xml document
NSData *response = [[NSMutableData alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
GDataXMLDocument *doc = [[GDataXMLDocument alloc] initWithData:response options:0 error:nil];
// loop through the elements
NSArray *navPoints = [[[doc.rootElement elementsForName:@"navMap"] lastObject] elementsForName:@"navPoint"];
for (GDataXMLElement *m in navPoints)
{
NSArray *navLabel = [m elementsForName:@"navLabel"];
for (GDataXMLElement *e in navLabel)
{
NSArray *text = [e elementsForName:@"text"];
[values addObject:[[text lastObject] stringValue]];
}
}
return values;
}
the GData
Library returns array even if there is only one tag/element in actual xml. Inner loop only runs once per outer loop's iteration.
