The tutorial referenced on the <xmltask> web page
http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XPathTutorial/General/examples.html is very
good.
The set of test cases in the .src.zip download may also be useful.

Hi Brian,
I just tried it and it works :-)
(also the attribute value)
I'm going to read some more
tutorials on XPath to become more fluent in it :-)
Thanks a lot,
Wim
For your 'constantvalue' below I'd expect your path to be:
constant/text()
to access the text node.
For 'constantname' I'd expect the path to be:
constant/@name
to access the attribute. Now I'll have to check whether you can access
an attribute value as opposed to an attribute node (there's no way in
XPath to reference an attribute value directly).

ps. haven't checked any of the above but will do soon....

Hi,
I
have the following XML file:
<root>
....
<content name="Dutch" locale="locale_nl">
<constant name="stupidlabeltext">Dutch
text</constant>
</content>
<content name="French" locale="locale_fr">
<constant name="stupidlabeltext">French text</constant>
</content>
...
</root>
I
have the following Ant file:
<xmltask source="test.xml" dest="test-new.xml"
failWithoutMatch="true">
<call path="//content" target="echoprops">
<param name="locale" path="@locale"/>
<param name="constantname" path="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/>
<param name="constantvalue" path="constant[text()]"/>
</call>
</xmltask>
<target
name="echoprops">
<echo message="Constant: ${locale} - ${constantname} -
${constantvalue}"/>
</target>
The
output I receive on an example xml file is:
Constant: locale_nl -
${constantname} - ${constantvalue}
It seems that it's not possible to specify an
XPath referencing children inside a param. Or am I doing something
wrong? Or is there another way I should try?
Purpose of this is to convert constants in
legacy xml files to standard resourcebundles...
I'm
using the latest XMLTask 1.12 version.
kind regards,
Wim Bervoets
