The reason I am trying to do the wildcard search is because I have nodes
of the same name at different levels and I need them all. So giving a
specific path wouldn't give me all of the nodes I need.
Here's an expert...
<xml>
<node nodid="cue14">
</node>
<node nodid="cue15" >
<closecaptioning><![CDATA[]]></closecaptioning>
<actions>
<action type="evt_post">
<data type="reply" order="1" videofile="debate1.flv"
length="55666">
<slides>
<node nodid="cue1" order="13" index="true"
slidefile="" printfile="slide1.jpg" thumbfile="slide1.jpg" type="slide"
>
<closecaptioning><![CDATA[]]></closecaptioning>
<actions />
</node>
</slides>
</action>
</actions>
</node>
</xml>
Yes * and / are mathematical operators but in the context of a xpath
search they are used as you expect if you were doing a regex search...
which also supports the * and /
What I am attempting to do is get all the node nodes by doing
r = XPathAPI.selectNodeList(myXML,"/*/node");
If anyone else has experienced the same trouble and know a way around it
or know what I'm doing wrong that would be great!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!

The problem is that / and * are both node operators and math
operators,
so your statement is ambiguous. The obvious answer, based on your
example
XML, is to use "./items/item", but I don't know if your real XML is more
complex or not. If it is, you just need to make your select statement
more
explicit.
