OK so I have been able to use XMLSearch filter by attributes, however I

Executing an XPath expression on a XML structure with XmlSearch always

You have many options, the easier should be:

That's sort of what I was afraid of. If it's legal XPath syntax, then why
doesn't the XmlSearch function support it? Is it a weakness in MX, or is
this a deliberate omission? And does anybody know if MM has plans to

The problem is not that MACR returns an array rather than a string in this
particular XPath case. The problem is that, in the case where I'm trying to
