XML : How To query a string attribute with tinyxml2?

Hi does someone know how to to query a attribute in to a string variable, using tinyxml2?

Example:

  <pattern>      <distances numberOfDistances="1" realWorldPixelSize="0.26428571428571429">          <markerDistance linkName="AB" distance="58.624385902531891"/>      </distances>  </pattern>    

To get the distance attribute I use

  for (tinyxml2::XMLElement* child = distancesElement->FirstChildElement(); child != NULL; child = child->NextSiblingElement())      {          double distance;          child->QueryAttribute("distance", &distance);          distances.push_back(MarkerDistance(linkName, distance));      }    

I thought for a string it would be something like this:

  std::string linkName;  child->QueryAttribute("distance", &linkName);    

But for a string there seems to be no overload.
