i'm trying to pass a value from a file into tileNode.find_child_by_attribute("tileset","firstgid",container[0]).attribute("source").as_string()
. it should return a string for an image path.
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include "SFML/Graphics.hpp"
#include "../hpp/pugixml.hpp"
int main()
{
std::vector <char> container = {};
pugi::xml_document document;
pugi::xml_parse_result result = document.load_file("./room/default.tsx");
pugi::xml_node tileNode = document.child("map").child("tiledata");
std::string gridRawData = document.child("map").child("layer").child("data").text().as_string();
int z = 0;
int y = 0;
//read map key from file
for(int x = 0; x < gridRawData.size(); x++)
{
if(document.child("map").child("layer").child("data").child_value()[x] != '\n' &&
document.child("map").child("layer").child("data").child_value()[x] != ',')
{
container.push_back(gridRawData[x]);
};
}
std::cout<<tileNode.find_child_by_attribute("tileset","firstgid",container[0]).attribute("source").as_string();
return 0;
};```
it gives error:
```it gives error

So taking a wild guess at what you actually mean I'm going to plump for this
char attr_value[] = { container[0], '\0' };
cout << tileNode.find_child_by_attribute("tileset","firstgid",attr_value).attribute("source").as_string();
The first line converts the character in container[0]
into the null terminated string that find_child_by_attribute
requires.
