iPhone NSXMLParser parsing string and storing in a NSNumber variable and different data types
- by anubhav
Hi,
I am trying to parse a XML File using NSXMLParser, I also have a Container class, in which I have a few instance variables. One of the elements that I am trying to parse in the XML is:
<book sn="32.859669048339128" pn="-116.917800670489670">
I am trying to save the value of sn and pn in an instance variable of object Container: NSNumber *sn, NSNumber *pn.
I want it so that when my parser get the attributeValues it can save it as a Double (or float) in those NSNumber pointers.
Right now, all it does it just saves a string to the NSNumber.
The Parser Code looks like this:
if([elementName isEqualToString:@"book"]){
container = [[Container alloc] init];
container.sn=[attributeDict objectForKey:@"sn"];
container.pn=[attributeDict objectForKey:@"pn"];
}
I want it so that the type of container.sn is initialized to a float or double. Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks in advance!
