problem in deleting a node from an xml file
 

Hi,

Am new to xml, using the xercess c++ DOM parser .
I want to delete a node from the xml file. Have used th removeChild()
method...but nothin happens.. not even errors..
it executes but doesnt remove any node from the file.

here's the code snippet (that's after parsing and loadin the xml file)
DOMNode *root = pDoc1->getDocumentElement();
DOMNode *child = root->getFirstChild();
DOMNode *nextchild = child->getNextSibling();
child->removeChild(nextchild);

other than the deleting part.. rest of the code works fine.

Cud aneone help please :)
Thanks.

Maybe saving the results back into a file would help?
