I feat I am wracking my brains again on something
simple.
If my xml looks like this:
<A>
<B1>
<C1>
<C2>
<C3>
<B2>
<C4>
<C5>
<C6>
<B3>
<C7>
<C8>
<C9>
</A>
I am trying to access C nodes by position relative to
root using xpath.
For example, to get C9, this does not work: //C[
position()=9 ] //C[ 9 ]
presumably because the context to begin counting C
nodes is the B node, and there are ony a maximum of 3 C
nodes in that context.
Use:
/descendant::C[9]
or
(//C)[9]
read here for Wendell's and David's explanations to
me the other day:
