That depends on how you process the XML. If using SAX, you will get a callback (xmlSAX2Characters). If using the reader, you navigate to the XML_READER_TYPE_TEXT and call xmlTextReaderValue. If using XPath, you need to use "...../Device/text()"; and get the data from xmlXPathObject::nodesetval->nodeTab[i]->value If using the DOM, you'll have to figure it out yourself because I never used that.
