Brian,

I tried asking this question before - you answered the question correctly
but I asked it incorrectly!  Here's the updated question:

If I have a list of properties that I'm storing in xml like this:

<map-array name="properties">
  <entries>
    <string name="name" value="status-display-dispatched" />
    <string name="value" value="Earmarked" />
  </entries>
  <entries>
    <string name="name" value="status-display-contacted" />
    <string name="value" value="Contacted" />
  </entries>
  <entries>
    <string name="name" value="status-display-travelling" />
    <string name="value" value="Travelling" />
  </entries>
  ...

How can I individually update each <string name="value"> element?  I might
want to change only two of the above properties, to look like this:

<map-array name="properties">
  <entries>
    <string name="name" value="status-display-dispatched" />
    <string name="value" value="Assigned" />
  </entries>
  <entries>
    <string name="name" value="status-display-contacted" />
    <string name="value" value="Notified" />
  </entries>
  <entries>
    <string name="name" value="status-display-travelling" />
    <string name="value" value="Travelling" />
  </entries>
  ...

Thanks,
TimM



The below tries to remove the path //entries/string for the given
attribute value You should be able to specify a similar predicate thus
(note: I haven't tried this)

<remove path="//entries[string/@value='properties']"/>

which should remove //entries where string/@value='properties'.

Please let me know if this works or not for you.
