Get XML Attributes in SPIN
![laurent974](https://forums.parallax.com/uploads/userpics/800/n1REZ4ACYLEO5.jpg)
I would like to share a little code after my first journey on the SPIN road.
I didn't find an xml parser for the propeller. But my need wasn't so difficult to code. I just wanted to get the attributes of an xml file.
Since it took me some time to get it right, I post it here it may help others, or you could give me advices to improve it too.
i didn't count how many time i was lost in pointer / address / values with spin. Only using the terminal to debug is really a pain.
