Hi Dan, Doh, I forgot to mention that I need a particular branch, and realized my example isn't very good. I'll try again.
I have the following: /parent1/childJack/years=10 /parent2/childJill/years=12 /parent3/childJohn/years=35 /parent3/childJohn/childSuzy/years=10 I need the _adults_ that have children or grandchildren that are 10 years old because we are running a special promotion for 10 year olds, and need to notify the adults of it. I would like to write this: parents[//@years= '10'] but no go. Any ideas?
