I am trying to find the IMD in the last Line element in my edifact file, using xpath in biztalk - orchestration.
This is my xpath:
LastLineName = xpath(Message_2,"/*[local-name()='EFACT_D96A_INVOIC' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/EDI/EDIFACT/2006']/*[local-name()='LINLoop1' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/EDI/EDIFACT/2006']/*[local-name()='IMD_2' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/EDI/EDIFACT/2006']/*[local-name()='C273_2' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/EDI/EDIFACT/2006']/*[local-name()='C27304' and namespace-uri()='']last()");
And this is my edifat-file:

It returns:
has an invalid token
At the very end, you have
last()
Positional indexers must be enclosed in square brackets.
So simply make it:
[last()]
I solved it. Sorry Arran, you were totally right about [last()]. I just needed to put it in another place than suggested.
This is the solution:
/*[local-name()='EFACT_D96A_INVOIC' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/EDI/EDIFACT/2006']/*[local-name()='LINLoop1' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/EDI/EDIFACT/2006'][last()]/*[local-name()='IMD_2' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/EDI/EDIFACT/2006']/*[local-name()='C273_2' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/EDI/EDIFACT/2006']/*[local-name()='C27304' and namespace-uri()='']/text()

I am using Nokogiri to parse an RSS feed for a podcast. I am trying to grab a particular piece of data containing a link to the episode, so I'm using Nokogiri to parse the XML response for the RSS feed.
The relevant bit is below:
<item>
<title>An awesome title!</title>
...
<link>
http://www.foobar.com/episodes/1
</link>
</item>
Nokogiri appears to be having a hard time grabbing the <link> tag though; I am able to get the <item> tag as a Nokogiri::Node object, and I can grab the title just fine with node.css('title').text, but when I try the same with node.css('link').text, I get a blank string.
I tried calling node.children.to_a to examine all of the children in this node, and I noticed something odd: the text inside the <link> tag is being parsed as a separate child:
[0] = {Nokogiri::XML::Element} <title>An awesome title!</title>\n
[1] = {Nokogiri::XML::Element} <link>
[2] = {Nokogiri::XML::Text} http://www.foobar.com/episodes/1\n
Is there a way I can help Nokogiri properly parse this multi-line tag so that I can grab the text inside?
UPDATE: Here is the exact code I'm executing when I run into the issue.
require 'open-uri'
doc = Nokogiri::HTML(open('https://rss.acast.com/abroadinjapan')) # Returns Nokogiri::HTML::Document
node = doc.css('//item').first # Returns Nokogiri::XML::Element
node.css('title').text # Returns "Abroad in Japan: Two weeks more in Japan!"
node.css('link').text # Returns ""
node.css('link').inner_text # Also returns "" - saw this elsewhere and thought I'd try it
node.children.to_a # Result, parsed by RubyMine for readability:
result = Array (14 elements)
[0] = {Nokogiri::XML::Element} <title>Abroad in Japan: Two weeks more in Japan!</title>\n

NOTE: One of the URLs above uses a URL shortener, which SO doesn't like, so I replaced it with foobar.com.
The fix is a lot simpler than you would think. An RSS feed is not valid HTML, but it works with XML:
doc = Nokogiri::XML(open('...'))
Ruby also has a module named RSS, which might be better suited for something like this:
require 'rss'
doc = RSS::Parser.parse(open('...'))
doc.items.first.link
=> "https://...."
I have a small xml file that I'm trying to grab the away_team first and then the home_team second.
/game/team/statistics/#goals gives me the data I want but I need to reverse the order. So I'm trying to understand how to get the away_team goals first, followed by the home_team.
Below is the file

Here's an XPath 2.0 expression that should do what you asked, yielding a sequence of two elements:
(/game/team[#id = /game/#home_team]/statistics/#goals,
/game/team[#id = /game/#away_team]/statistics/#goals)
Credit to #Ian for sleuthing out the details of the question.
In XPath 1.0, you could concatenate string data from the two teams in whatever order you want:
concat(/game/team[#id = /game/#home_team]/statistics/#goals, ' ',
/game/team[#id = /game/#away_team]/statistics/#goals)
But as Ian said, you can't produce a nodeset with an order different from document order. (I don't think a nodeset has any intrinsic order at all... it's how it's processed that imposes an order.)
Update:
As Ian pointed out, your XML data is in a namespace, thanks to the default namespace declaration on <game>. Since you said that "/game/team/statistics/#goals gives me the data", I'm assuming that you've already taken care of this aspect of the problem, perhaps by declaring the default namespace in your XPath execution environment.
I have an CSV file like:
1234|abc|val1=12;val2=13;val3=14
1235|xyz|val1=15;val2=16;val3=18
I need to convert it into XML using mfl file.
This is my approach:
<StructFormat name='player' delimOptional='n' repeat='*'>
<FieldFormat name='FieldID' type='String' delimRef='' delim='|' dataDelim='"' delimOptional='n' optional='n' codepage='UTF-8'/>
<FieldFormat name='playerName' type='String' delimRef='' delim='|' dataDelim='"' delimOptional='n' optional='n' codepage='UTF-8'/>
<StructFormat name='extraList' delim='|' delimOptional='n' optional='y'>
<FieldFormat name='extra' type='String' delimRef='' delim='|' delimOptional='n' optional='y' codepage='UTF-8' repeat='*'/>
</StructFormat>
</StructFormat>
I don't know how to implement unlimited amount of couples: val1=12 assigned to each player.
Any help? Thank you!

If i extract the keys (pdf.signature.keys) i get
/Type
/Contents
/Filter
/SubFilter
/ByteRange
/Location
/ContactInfo
/Reason
/M
/Prop_Build
Now, how do I reach the contents of these keys ?
I cannot simply do pdf.signature[/Location] , because ruby says it is a syntax error...
Any ideas?
I took a look at the source for origami-pdf, and it seems that the / prepending every key in that output is generated on-the-fly from Origami::Name.to_s. Also looking at its eql? definition it seems like it just compares it to the underlying string value. So this should work, have you tried it?
signature[Origami::Name.new('Location')]
As generating an Origami::Name object with /Location seems to be so hard, I solved this with a different approach :
location = pdf.signature[pdf.signature.keys[5]]
The Output returns Portugal, and this is the approach I will take, since the array's keys position are supposed to be static.
I would appreciate a more elegant solution though
I am using the Twitter Gem to access the Twitter API and I'd like to create a variable that only stores mentions that are unique, based on the text of the mention.
Right now, I'm storing all mentions like so: #allmentions = Twitter.mentions_timeline
This is an example of a mention returned for #allmentions[0]
=> #<Twitter::Tweet:0x007fbffb59ab88 #attrs={:created_at=>"Mon Dec 10 01:28:11 +0000 2012", :id=>277947788216639488, :id_str=>"277947788216639488", :text=>"#person hi", :source=>"web", :truncated=>false, :in_reply_to_status_id=>nil, :in_reply_to_status_id_str=>nil, :in_reply_to_user_id=>11739102, :in_reply_to_user_id_str=>"11739102", :in_reply_to_screen_name=>"person", :user=>{:id=>1000628702, :id_str=>"1000628702", :name=>"test account", :screen_name=>"testaccountso", :location=>"", :description=>"", :url=>nil, :entities=>{:description=>{:urls=>[]}}, :protected=>false, :followers_count=>0, :friends_count=>0, :listed_count=>0, :created_at=>"Mon Dec 10 01:27:39 +0000 2012", :favourites_count=>0, :utc_offset=>nil, :time_zone=>nil, :geo_enabled=>false, :verified=>false, :statuses_count=>1, :lang=>"en", :contributors_enabled=>false, :is_translator=>false, :profile_background_color=>"C0DEED", :profile_background_image_url=>"http://a0.twimg.com/images/themes/theme1/bg.png", :profile_background_image_url_https=>"https://si0.twimg.com/images/themes/theme1/bg.png", :profile_background_tile=>false, :profile_image_url=>"http://a0.twimg.com/sticky/default_profile_images/default_profile_3_normal.png", :profile_image_url_https=>"https://si0.twimg.com/sticky/default_profile_images/default_profile_3_normal.png", :profile_link_color=>"0084B4", :profile_sidebar_border_color=>"C0DEED", :profile_sidebar_fill_color=>"DDEEF6", :profile_text_color=>"333333", :profile_use_background_image=>true, :default_profile=>true, :default_profile_image=>true, :following=>nil, :follow_request_sent=>false, :notifications=>nil}, :geo=>nil, :coordinates=>nil, :place=>nil, :contributors=>nil, :retweet_count=>0, :entities=>{:hashtags=>[], :urls=>[], :user_mentions=>[{:screen_name=>"person", :name=>"Person", :id=>1173910, :id_str=>"1173910", :indices=>[0, 6]}]}, :favorited=>false, :retweeted=>false}>
I can access the text of the mention like so: #allmentions[0].text
Is there a built-in ruby method (or an easy way) to let me store only the mentions that have a unique value in the text attribute?
Yes, you can call uniq with a block.
For example:
#allmentions.uniq {|m| m.text}
To answer my own question, I did a bit of research, and it seems like this would work:
no_dupes = $allmentions.uniq { |h| h[:text] }
