[Expat-discuss] help for a program

[Nick MacDonald]

Hmmm...  Been following the list now for a while, and am noticing a
trend... is there no Expat FAQ to point these people to?

Anyway... in answer to your question...  Start with the example
program, and play with it to understand it.  Then expand it to do what
you want.  It is a pretty easy exercise.

Expat makes calls back into your code each time it recognizes an
"event", such as the start of an XML tag, the contents between two
tags, and the end of a tag.  Because it works this way, you quite
probably need to build a stack (the data structure) to push and pop
tags onto so you know the "context" of the file you are in.

Good luck...
