Hi List
I have a xpath expression that searches a xml file for the word 'faa'. Using
pure xpath 1.0, I want to be able to search each section element that has the
word 'faa' in the name attribute. I want to return the @name of the ancestor
chapter/@name for each section.
This expression only returns a count of 1
/data/volume/chapter/section/@name[contains(translate(.,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'),
'faa')]/ancestor::chapter/@name
while this returns a count of 2.
/data/volume/chapter/section/@name[contains(translate(.,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'),
'faa')]
I understand why I am not getting the desired result, but not sure how to get
it.
Desired result:
Chapter 1. Handbook Organization, Use, and Revision
Chapter 1. Handbook Organization, Use, and Revision
Is this possible with using a single xpath expression?
