Writing your own parser is not a great idea in my opinion.
You can use some library for that. For example, tinyxml (http://github.com/leethomason/tinyxml2 ) or Qt (it's a fully fledged cross-platform GUI framework, but it also has an XML module - http://qt.nokia.com/ ).

I use Boost for this, personally. I can help with "getting started" or implementation hiccups you come across.

Boost Property Tree
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/doc/html/boost_propertytree/parsers.html#boost_propertytree.parsers.xml_parser

You can read/write XML very easily using this. I just linked you the tutorial I used way back when, you can grab the latest boost from their website, I don't think it requires anything but headers.
