No, I wish it did. (That way, the get-value-without-failing function could be overloaded as get-value (string, string, bool), with the bool indicating whether or not to fail on an error) .
Cool, that'll help. I'll take a look at the xmlpeek source to see if I can work out how it handles namespaces differently and shamelessly plagiarise - ahem, I mean adapt ;) - that into the function.
I got round it with a c# <script> task. I'd like to revamp that into an <xml-foreach> call (since I think embedded c# scripts should be avoided if possible). That's why I started this whole thing, in a way. But I agree - I think it could be a worthy addition as well :)
Hello,
I like it very much. Expecially functions. Bad luck I personally need
namespace support, since mine xmls have some namespace in it. And even
default namespace needs specification in xpaths :-(

btw: does nant functions support overloading and/or default parameter value?
bool xml::value-exists (string xmlFile, string xPath,
NamespaceMap nsMap = null)

Here is typical use of namespace map (taken from my real script):
<xmlpeek
file="${prjconfig}"
xpath="x:Project/x:ExeName"
property="newexe"
failonerror="true"
failonnonode="false"
>
<namespaces>
<namespace
prefix="x" uri="http://www.gordic.cz/shared/project-config/v_1.0.0.0 "/>
</namespaces>
</xmlpeek>
And sample xml file is here (changed to protect innocent):
<?xml version=" 1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project xmlns="http://www.gordic.cz/shared/project-config/v_1.0.0.0">
<Name>foo</Name>
<Description>foobar</Description>
<ExeName>footest</ExeName>
</Project>

I missed xml-foreach once too, but nowadays I do not need it. Still it could
be worth addition to NAnt(Contrib) tasks!
