The problem is that
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.
That's not what your select says, the * wildcard only selectes children.
/*/item = select all
> x = new XML(" foo='bar'/>");
>
> r = XPathAPI.selectNodeList(x,"/*/item");
If I understand correctly, that search would not find anything, because item
is not a child of test, but rather of items. If I'm reading your XPath
expression correctly, you would find /items/item, but not /test/items/it

The problem is that / and * are bo
r = XPathAPI.selectNodeList(x,"/*/item");
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
I've been having problems with the xpathapi. I've been trying to do a
wildcard search and according to all the documentation it's supported
yet even simple straight forward search isn't working. Can anyone help?
Example :
import mx.xpath.XPathAPI;
x = new XML("");
r = XPathAPI.selectNo
