Parsing xml content tag - iphone

Question

my problem is that i cant parse the tag from a xml file.
It returns a null value, im testing it by using an NSLog with %#.
If someone could point me a solution i would be very thankful.
Here is the code:
BOOL processed = NO;
if (currentText) {
// Remove newlines and whitespace from currentText
NSString *processedText = [currentText stringByRemovingNewLinesAndWhitespace];
// Process
switch (feedType) {
case FeedTypeRSS: {
// Item
if (!processed) {
if ([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rss/channel/item/title"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) item.title = processedText; processed = YES; }
else if([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rss/channel/item/url"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) item.image = processedText; processed = YES; }
else if([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rss/channel/item/category"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) item.category = processedText; processed = YES; }
else if ([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rss/channel/item/link"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) item.link = processedText; processed = YES; }
else if ([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rss/channel/item/guid"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) item.identifier = processedText; processed = YES; }
else if ([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rss/channel/item/description"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) item.summary = processedText; processed = YES; }
else if ([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rss/channel/item/content:encoded"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) item.content = processedText; processed = YES; }
else if ([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rss/channel/item/pubDate"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) item.date = [NSDate dateFromInternetDateTimeString:processedText formatHint:DateFormatHintRFC822]; processed = YES; }
else if ([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rss/channel/item/enclosure"]) { [self createEnclosureFromAttributes:currentElementAttributes andAddToItem:item]; processed = YES; }
else if ([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rss/channel/item/dc:date"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) item.date = [NSDate dateFromInternetDateTimeString:processedText formatHint:DateFormatHintRFC3339]; processed = YES; }
}
// Info
if (!processed && feedParseType != ParseTypeItemsOnly) {
if ([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rss/channel/title"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) info.title = processedText; processed = YES; }
else if([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rss/channel/item/url"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) item.image = processedText; processed = YES; }
else if([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rss/channel/item/category"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) item.category = processedText; processed = YES; }
else if ([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rss/channel/description"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) info.summary = processedText; processed = YES; }
else if ([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rss/channel/link"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) info.link = processedText; processed = YES; }
}
break;
}
case FeedTypeRSS1: {
// Item
if (!processed) {
if ([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rdf:RDF/item/title"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) item.title = processedText; processed = YES; }
else if([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rss/channel/item/url"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) item.image = processedText; processed = YES; }
else if([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rss/channel/item/category"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) item.category = processedText; processed = YES; }
else if ([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rdf:RDF/item/link"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) item.link = processedText; processed = YES; }
else if ([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rdf:RDF/item/dc:identifier"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) item.identifier = processedText; processed = YES; }
else if ([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rdf:RDF/item/description"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) item.summary = processedText; processed = YES; }
else if ([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rdf:RDF/item/content:encoded"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) item.content = processedText; processed = YES; }
else if ([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rdf:RDF/item/dc:date"]) { if (processedText.length > 0) item.date = [NSDate dateFromInternetDateTimeString:processedText formatHint:DateFormatHintRFC3339]; processed = YES; }
else if ([currentPath isEqualToString:#"/rdf:RDF/item/enc:enclosure"]) { [self createEnclosureFromAttributes:currentElementAttributes andAddToItem:item]; processed = YES; }
}
call method:
// Customize the appearance of table view cells.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
}
// Configure the cell.
MWFeedItem *item = [itemsToDisplay objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
if (item) {
NSLog(#"content = %#",item.content);//<-------------------------------------------Returns a NULL
// Process
NSString *itemTitle = item.title ? [item.title stringByConvertingHTMLToPlainText] : #"[No Title]";
NSString *itemSummary = item.summary ? [item.summary stringByConvertingHTMLToPlainText] : #"[No Summary]";
// Set
cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:15];
cell.textLabel.text = itemTitle;
NSMutableString *subtitle = [NSMutableString string];
if (item.date) [subtitle appendFormat:#"%#: ", [formatter stringFromDate:item.date]];
[subtitle appendString:itemSummary];
cell.detailTextLabel.text = subtitle;
}
return cell;
}

While parsing every element the parser will return a whitespace character as a response because of new line / tabbing / carriage returns. If you have implemented a call back methods (delegates) of parser then check for null values, and i donno where you have implemented(in the sense,in which parser delegate method has this) the very first snippet.
