libxml2属性修改C.

Question

I want to change one attribute ('voltage') in my xml:

...
    <detector voltage="1.2e3f"/>
...

Here is how im trying to do it:

 void save_detector_attr(xmlNode *node, xmlDoc *doc){
        char *voltage;
        xmlAttrPtr s_vnewattr;
        char buf[128];
        xmlNode *cur = node->xmlChildrenNode;
        float sv;
        int cnt = 0;
        while(cur != NULL) {
            if (cur->type == XML_ELEMENT_NODE) {
                if (!xmlStrcmp(cur->name, "detector")){
                    voltage = xmlGetProp(cur, "voltage");
                    sv = atof(voltage);

                    snprintf(buf, 128, "%f", sv + 20.1 );

                    s_vnewattr = xmlNewProp (cur, "voltage", buf);
                    printf(" SAVING to voltage value: %s\n", buf);

                }
            }
            cur = cur->next;
        }
        xmlSaveFormatFile ("./mc2x.xml", doc, 1);

unfortunately, instead of rewriting attribute, after that function is called i'm having a new file with this:

<detector voltage="1.2e3f" voltage="1220.100000"/>

How to make that attribute will be rewriten instead of creating a new one ?

Simply use xmlSetProp :

xmlAttrPtr xmlSetProp (xmlNodePtr node, 
                       const xmlChar * name, 
                       const xmlChar * value)

Set (or reset) an attribute carried by a node. If @name has a prefix, then the corresponding namespace-binding will be used, if in scope; it is an error it there's no such ns-binding for the prefix in scope.
