Hey, Wayne, might it be the namespace(s)? >> xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom' xmlns:app='http://purl.org/atom/app#' >> xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' >> xmlns:openSearch='http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearchrss/1.0/' >> xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' >> xmlns:yt='http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007'
- this can be a HUGE factor in extracting the xml for various systems. FWIW: the full xPATH should be: /feed/entry/id. I don't know if that gets you an "array" or not - it might only return the first instance of the value(s). If you use //entry/id you should get ALL matches, but not knowing if this gets you the array. I mostly work with XSLT to parse the XML. :) Beverly On 18 Nov 2013, at 5:37 PM, Wayne Irvine wrote: > I'm trying to parse some feeds from Youtube's API and not having much luck. > > The results look
