I should not have used count. I meant size. xpath.size does not give you the number of nodes as far as I can tell. Maybe it's meant to work that way. I have also learned that find_first can return a nil which is useful for testing but find doesn't. Again this is probably all the way it's supposed to work I was just confused. >> when you get a node and iterate over it the first node is sometimes >> blank.

If I run into it again I'll file a bug report for sure. _______________________________________________ libxml-devel mailing list libxml-devel@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/libxml-devel
