Xmlsearch & Xpath
A little while ago someone, sorry I forget who, had asked about sharing links to good Xpath tutorials on the web related to coldfusion, the question basically went unanswered. I started looking around and noticed there weren't any that I could find. So I set out to change that and started digging around Xpath tutorials and reading W3C's specs, a few days later I have what might actually be the semblance of a tutorial. Before I release it to the masses, and get pummeled with critique, I was hoping I could get a few brave volunteers to read it over and give me some feedback as to what I could change/include. Any takers? Adam H [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
Re: XMLSearch & Xpath Question
This should work: /catalog/course/subject[text()='DS'] Even better, you could trim the text before comparing it: /catalog/course/subject[normalize-space(text())='DS'] You can find an excellent tutorial here: http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/default.asp A great book: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/xpathpointer Handy tools for testing XPath expressions: http://www.purpletech.com/xpe/index.jsp http://www.topxml.com/xpathvisualizer/ Hope it will help Massimo Foti http://www.massimocorner.com Co-Author of Dreamweaver MX 2004 Magic: http://www.dwmagic.com/ [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
XMLSearch & Xpath Question
OK so I have been able to use XMLSearch filter by attributes, however I want to be able to filter by the actual text between tags...the funny thing is all of my CFMX books only filter by attributes in their examples. I know this has to be really easy, but I am not sure how to write an XPath statement to filter by the text between tags...For example in the XML document below I want to just be able to pull those courses with "FS" between the tags, this is what I thought would work but it gives me nice little empy array. Thank you in advance My Xpath statement: resultsXML=XMLSearch(IDcoursesXML, '/catalog/course[subject="FS"]') A snippet of the XML I am trying to search/filter: --- DS-202 DS DS-400 DS FS-150 FS --- [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
