Thanks Terry. The email originally appeared blank in my email browser, so I was worried. But restarting the browser made it work :)

Thanks again

Yes, but let's not sidetrack from the original question :) Basically all examples I have show the attributes example, but I want to nodes example, where a node is an element. Any answer on that? So is the following statement the most efficient way:

<car>
   <type > bar /type>
   <color> foo </color>

I want to use XPATH to select the cars of type "Mercedes" with color "black" say. Currently I do the following:
xindice xpath -c /db/CarCollection -q "/car[type='Mercedes']//ancestor::car[color='black']


Thanks
Eno

Assuming you wish to select the above car node, you could use:

/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'bar' and @color='foo']

hi Eno ,

<car>
<type > bar /type>
<color> foo </color>

I want to use XPATH to select the cars of type "Mercedes" with color "black" say. Currently I do the following:
xindice xpath -c /db/CarCollection -q "/car[type='Mercedes']//ancestor::car[color='black'].


ur saying this works right .

but
/car[type='Mercedes'] --> here car means the root tag <car> ur searching for type ="Mercedes" , so basically how do i perform search based on attributes.
in case by xml is like this


<car type="bar" color="foo">

Thanks in advance ,
Hari
