Hi Tim,

I finally got it going.  Here were the issues I had to deal with, I
hope this helps somebody.

Thanks for posting your experiences.


find_first returns a node object and find returns a xpath object. They
are not the same (obviously).

Right.  I updated the Rdocs to make that a bit more clear.


xpath.count returns weird numbers. I still don't understand what it's counting.

Could you expand on this. Do you mean xpath.length (there isn't a count method)? One thing that the docs don't make clear is that the fine method can return a set of nodes, or it can returns immediate values like numbers, boolean, string (that's just the way xpath works). Maybe that is the issue?

when you get a node and iterate over it the first node is sometimes
blank. It's better to use each_element.

That sounds like a bug.  Do you have a test case by chance?


Also installing the gem gives strange errors when trying to build docs
and ri but the binary seems to be installed OK.

Ignore those - its due to limitations in RDoc 1.x. Rdoc 2.x shows no errors.

Thanks for your help.  I got it going  enough to parse my soap envelope.

Sounds good.

Charlie
