Re: [expat] newbie question

Jeffrey

you should to use

XML_Bool XMLCALL XML_ParserReset(XML_Parser p, const XML_Char *encoding);

Clean up the memory structures maintained by the parser so that it may be used again. After this has been called, parser is ready to start parsing a new document. All handlers are cleared from the parser, except for the unknownEncodingHandler. The parser's external state is re-initialized except for the values of ns and ns_triplets. This function may not be used on a parser created using XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate; it will return XML_FALSE in that case. Returns XML_TRUE on success. Your application is responsible for dealing with any memory associated with user data.

PS: take a glance at your expat-2.0.0/doc/reference.html
