How do I parse the toc.ncx file within an ePub document and display its hierarchy?


How do I parse the toc.ncx file within an ePub document and display its hierarchy?



I have my application to read and display an ePub file almost ready.



What I am looking now into is, if my table of contents for the book has a hierarchical structure for chapters, topics and subtopics, how do I parse the toc.ncx file (which has an XML structure), and load the data in a UITableView while preserving the hierarchical structure?

You can use NSXMLParser to parse the toc.ncx file. It's pretty straight forward, you can find the documentation here.





Thanks for your solution. I am actually able to parse the file succesfully, but i am facing trouble while getting the hierarchical details of the file and presenting the same hierarchy in the UITableView format.

Clearly, your question cannot be answered without more detailed information.

Yup !!! Finally i got it... First i need to parse the XML and create a dictionary out of it... And then this NSDictionary can be easily displayed in UITableView in Hierarchical format !!

The problem is that now I am using dbeaver for mac and this guide is not working. I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below: exporting data set But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select. As a result it does't select my result or anything (besides being "successful"). Normally my query would show up there automatically and I couldn't find any option that corrects this problem in the menus. Please help me! Thanks. Aft...
