wxWidgets and TinyXML

I'm having a bit of trouble saving formatted text from a wxRichTextBox control. I don't normally go to forums for help, but I'm depressed and cloudy-headed today and I feel like being called a faggot. Here's how I'm doing it now:


// Create the XML document and ready it to be appended.
   TiXmlDocument xmlDocument;
   TiXmlDeclaration* p_decDeclaration = new TiXmlDeclaration( "1.0", "", "" );
   xmlDocument.LinkEndChild( p_decDeclaration );

   // Create the story and body sections.
   TiXmlElement* p_xleStory = new TiXmlElement( "story" );
   xmlDocument.LinkEndChild( p_xleStory );
   TiXmlElement* p_xleStoryBody = new TiXmlElement( "body" );
   p_xleStory->LinkEndChild( p_xleStoryBody );

   // Parse the text box character by character, build strings of like-
   // formatted characters, and link them to the story's body text as
   // children nodes.
   //TiXmlText* p_xltBody = new TiXmlText( (char*)p_txtMain->GetValue().char_str() );
   //p_xleStoryBody->LinkEndChild( p_xltBodyLine );
   TiXmlText* p_xltBodyLine = NULL;
   wxString strChildBuffer;
   //TiXmlNode* p_xleBodyTextParentNew = NULL;
   TiXmlNode* p_xleBodyTextParent = p_xleStoryBody;
   for( unsigned long intCountPos = 1 ; intCountPos < p_txtMain->GetValue().Len() ; intCountPos++ ) {


      wxRichTextAttr atrCurrent;
      wxRichTextAttr atrPrevious;
      p_txtMain->GetStyle( intCountPos, atrCurrent );
      p_txtMain->GetStyle( intCountPos - 1, atrPrevious );

      // Using this arrangement, bold will always be "outermost".

      if( atrCurrent.HasFontWeight() == true && atrPrevious.HasFontWeight() == false ) {
         // Finish up the current child.
         p_xltBodyLine = new TiXmlText( (char*)strChildBuffer.char_str() );
         p_xleBodyTextParent->LinkEndChild( p_xltBodyLine );

         // Bold has just been turned on.
         TiXmlElement* p_xleBodyTextParentNew = new TiXmlElement( "strong" );
         p_xleBodyTextParent->LinkEndChild( p_xleBodyTextParentNew );
         p_xleBodyTextParent = p_xleBodyTextParentNew;

         // Clean up.
         strChildBuffer = _( "" );
         p_xltBodyLine = NULL;
      }

      if( atrCurrent.HasFontItalic() == true && atrPrevious.HasFontItalic() == false ) {
         // Finish up the current child.
         p_xltBodyLine = new TiXmlText( (char*)strChildBuffer.char_str() );
         p_xleBodyTextParent->LinkEndChild( p_xltBodyLine );

         // Italic text has just been turned on.
         TiXmlElement* p_xleBodyTextParentNew = new TiXmlElement( "em" );
         p_xleBodyTextParent->LinkEndChild( p_xleBodyTextParentNew );
         p_xleBodyTextParent = p_xleBodyTextParentNew;

         // Clean up.
         strChildBuffer = _( "" );
         p_xltBodyLine = NULL;
      }

      if( atrCurrent.HasFontItalic() == false && atrPrevious.HasFontItalic() == true ) {
         // Finish up the current child.
         p_xltBodyLine = new TiXmlText( (char*)strChildBuffer.char_str() );
         p_xleBodyTextParent->LinkEndChild( p_xltBodyLine );

         // Italic text has just been turned off.
         p_xleBodyTextParent = p_xleBodyTextParent->Parent();

         // Clean up.
         strChildBuffer = _( "" );
         p_xltBodyLine = NULL;
      }

      if( atrCurrent.HasFontWeight() == false && atrPrevious.HasFontWeight() == true ) {
         // Finish up the current child.
         p_xltBodyLine = new TiXmlText( (char*)strChildBuffer.char_str() );
         p_xleBodyTextParent->LinkEndChild( p_xltBodyLine );

         // Bold text has just been turned off.
         p_xleBodyTextParent = p_xleBodyTextParent->Parent();

         // Clean up.
         strChildBuffer = _( "" );
         p_xltBodyLine = NULL;
      }

      // Now that we've dealt with the last of that buffer, start building
      // anew.
      strChildBuffer.Append( p_txtMain->GetValue().Mid( intCountPos, intCountPos + 1 ) );
   }

   xmlDocument.SaveFile( (char*)strFilePathIn.char_str() );

Needless to say, it doesn't work. I don't think I understand the RichText control well enough, despite the documentation. Or my algorithm's just stupid. How would you do this, /prog/?

Hi. Have you noticed that you're just repeating the same crap over and over? Human beings suck at interpreting such things. Fix that and your problem will be solved almost automatically (probably even you will be able to do it).
