CDATA problem

[bestia9]

Hello,

I need a little help. I want to read the CDATA from an XML file :


....
<EpgDescription>

<![CDATA[ Matrix]]>

</EpgDescription>
....

I use this code to read the CDATA:

Node EpgDescription =
XPathAPI.selectSingleNode(ScheduleNodeListNode,"EpgDescription");

Node firstchild = EpgDescription.getFirstChild();

System.out.println("start
:"+firstchild.getNodeName()+"-"+firstchild.getNodeValue()+" :end");

The problem is when i Print my node name and my node value on the
screen. I see this:

start :#text-
:end


How can I print Matrix?

Thx

<EpgDescription>

<![CDATA[ Matrix]]>

</EpgDescription> [...]
System.out.println("start
:"+firstchild.getNodeName()+"-"+firstchild.getNodeValue()+" :end");

The problem is when i Print my node name and my node value on the
screen. I see this:

start :#text-
:end

The CDATA section is not the first child node of the EpgDescription
element. It's text node with white space. Try looping over all child
nodes and concatenate the values.

Hello,

Your code is correct but the problem is in your document structure, if
you don't have a DTD or a Schema W3C, your blank text will be considered
as text node too so your first child node is not the CDATA part but the
previous blank part.

The first and last node are null.

Well, not null, but whitespace.
