Read a string/value between two strings.

For my game, the weapon definition files are coded in XML format. I would like to make my own custom XML parser for the game. Say I have this:

<flag>FULLAUTO</flag>

And want to store "FULLAUTO" in a string value in the memory when the program is executed. So far I know I need:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
 
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

void main () {
    // what goes here to read the XML file?
}

Search for some XML parsing library. They are more efficient and easy to use than everything you can write now. Don't reinvent the wheel.

And why XML? Why not YAML/JSON?

Okay, so no go on the custom XML parser. And which language do you guys recommend for weapon stuff for an FPS? My game is going to be like CoD...
