Ok, here's my workaround to parse this xml file, and it works! Essentially I
just increment the node index and make a recursive target call.
<tests>
<!--
testRunStatus = run this test?: yes, no, or skip
-->
<test>
<name>Lesson1234</name>
<testRunStatus>skip</testRunStatus>
</test>
<test>
<name>Lesson4567</name>
<testRunStatus>yes</testRunStatus>
</test>
<test>
<name>Lesson5678</name>
<testRunStatus>no</testRunStatus>
</test>
<!-- This has to be the last node! -->
<test>
<name>*</name>
<testRunStatus>no</testRunStatus>
</test>
</tests>
<!-Initial xml idx value is 0 -->
<property name="xmlidx" value="0" />
<target name="selectTestToRun">
<xmlpeek file="C:\Sompath\teststoRun.xml" xpath="/tests/test/name"
nodeindex="${xmlidx}" property="name" />
<if test="${name != '*'}">
<echo>name is ${name} </echo>
<xmlpeek file="C:\Somepath\teststoRun.xml"
xpath="/tests/test/testRunStatus" nodeindex="${xmlidx}"
property="testRunStatus" />
<echo>testRunStatus is ${testRunStatus} </echo>
<if test="${testRunStatus == 'yes'}">
<!-RUN THE TEST -->
</if>
<!-increment xml index -->
<property name="xmlidx" value="${int::parse(xmlidx)+1}" />
<!-Recursive call -->
<call target="selectTestToRun" />
</if>
</target

Not really, no.

So no canned support for this?

In other words, if you can't get to a specific node with an XPath expression
you really need to roll your own. That's really what it is designed for.
You could do something like what you are doing, however, you probably still
need your own script task to get the count of matching nodes. A quick google
find this http://bgeek.net/2005/09/19/nant-xml-node-counting/

That's all I want to do, find a node and update it.

For more than a simple find a node and update it I would recommend you write
you own code using the script task. Or write your own task.

Subject: [NAnt-users] xmlpeek and multiple nodes
How can I use xmlpeek/xmlpoke to recursively peruse all the similarly named
nodes in a file, the the <test> node below.
<tests>
<test>...</test>
<test>...</test>
<test>...</test>
</tests>
This didn't help,
http://nant.sourceforge.net/release/0.85/help/tasks/xmlpeek.html
And I found this
http://old.nabble.com/xmlpeek---Multiple-nodes-found-with-the-XPath-expression-td20017190.html
Per that page, do I really have to do this, that is hard code the indices? So
if I add a 16th node, I'll have to change the script to add a 16th index?
<foreach item="String" in="1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15" delim=","
property="index">
<xmlpeek file="${somefile} nodeindex="${index}" ..../>
</foreach>
So I found this
http://www.mail-archive.com/nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg11179.html
But my nant version 0.91 complains about <xmllist> being an unknown task or
data type.
