Hi guys,

I need some help with parsing XML files using sax, the first part of the code is what i've written but i'm having trouble passing some tests(the second part of the code, after the line). I'm having trouble understanding exactly how parsing works, i've read up on it but just seem to be getting more confused.

thanks
