The is getting a little weird.. xmlFirstSearch = xmlSearch(odoc, "Books/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'Reference Book']");
Now i want to search the Result of the the First Search.. xmlSecondSearch = xmlSearch(xmlFirstSearch, "Book/Author']"); The above doesnt seem to work.. because xmlFirstSearch is NOT a valid XML DOC... Is there work around this Other than Searching the Orginal DOC again. xmlSecondSearch = xmlSearch(odoc "Book/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'Reference Book']/Author"); Thanks, Joe Eugene ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean A Corfield" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 11:38 PM Subject: Re: xml XPath Equivalent in CF Notation > On Tuesday, Jun 24, 2003, at 20:04 US/Pacific, Joe Eugene wrote: > > Cant figure this one out OR is it possible in CF xml Notation. > > > > XML.. > > <Books> > > <Book type="Reference Book"> > > <Title>Java Programming</Title> > > <Author>Ivor Horton</Author> > > <Author>Ivor Horton</Author> > > </Book> > > </Books> > > Here is what i want to return using XPath...All the "Author" for node > > Element "Book" > > > > <cfdump var="#xmlSearch(odoc, "Books/Book[1]/Author")#"> > > > > What is the CF Equivalent to the above in CFMX Notation > > odoc.xmlRoot.Book[1]...? > > You can get to the elements of <Book> but that will be an array (I > think) and you'll have to manually iterate through each element to see > whether it is <Author> or not. > > Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/blog/ > > "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." > -- Margaret Atwood > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
