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 subject 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: --- ?xml version=1.0? catalog course section DS-202/section subject DS/subject title ![CDATA[ Intro Disability Studies ]] /title description ![CDATA[ This course will explore the social, cultural, and ethical issues surrounding the experience of disability. It is co-taught by faculty from the English Department and the School of Physical Therapy. Prerequisite: sophomore standing. 2 hours.

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]
