There is a simple xpath perl script that comes with the perl XML::XPath module
library.
For more complicated scripting, I've found calling the Xpath libraries from
Python easier.
( either lxml in Python, or javax.xml.xpath in Jython )
But I can usually rely on the perl modules being already installed on various
linux servers.
Python lxml libraries are not always installed.

Hi-
I need to run some complex searches on a directory containing multiple XML
files, and am looking for a command-line tool that will take XPath
expressions and will work in Unix/Linux terminal applications. Does anyone on
this list have suggestions for a good tool?
Thanks-
Lynn
