I need to get distinct values //name() withount distinct-values(//*/name())
I tried do like this, but its dosent work.
//*/name()[.!=//preceding-sibling::*]
How can i repair it?
Using XPath 1.0, to get the distinct values
For name attribute,
/*/*[not(#name = preceding::*/#name)]
For node name,
/*/*[not(name() = preceding::*/name())]
My Sample XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<friend1 name="abc"/>
<friend2 name="def"/>
<friend3 name="abc"/>

I want to select only the first element 'libro' that doesn't have the attribute 'paginas'.
Here is my try that doesn't work:
/biblioteca/libro[not(#paginas)]/../libro[1]
Thanks
You can use this XPath-1.0 expression:
/biblioteca/libro[not(#paginas)][1]
this is the xml file:

I am coding with Ruby and I used Nokogiri and the method xpath to extrapole the "CONTENT" of the file
this is the code:
def extrapolate_error(xml)
doc = Nokogiri::XML(File.open(xml))
doc.xpath('//CONTENT')
end
and this is the result:
[#<Nokogiri::XML::Element:0x1c5ba78 name="CONTENT" children=[
#<Nokogiri::XML::Text:0x1c5b940 "\n">,
#<Nokogiri::XML::Element:0x1c5b8bc name="ComplexResponse" namespace=#<Nokogiri::XML::Namespace:0x1c5b88c prefix="dms" href="http://dmsmanagerservice">
attributes=[
#<Nokogiri::XML::Attr:0x1c5b874 name="ErrorCode" value="430">,
#<Nokogiri::XML::Attr:0x1c5b868 name="ErrorDescription" value="null : PrivacyUE Mancante">,
#<Nokogiri::XML::Attr:0x1c5b85c name="Return" value="false">]
children=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Text:0x1c5b118 "\n">,
#<Nokogiri::XML::Element:0x1c5b094 name="Element" namespace=#<Nokogiri::XML::Namespace:0x1c5b88c prefix="dms" href="http://dmsmanagerservice">
attributes=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Attr:0x1c5b058 name="Name" value="DMSVERSION">]
children=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Text:0x1c5abe4 "2.7">]>,
#<Nokogiri::XML::Text:0x1c5aaac "\n">]>,
#<Nokogiri::XML::Text:0x1c5a974 "\n">]>]
Now I need to enter in it and select some attributes.
In the specific I need this:
name="ErrorCode" value="430"
name="ErrorDescription" value="null : PrivacyUE Mancante"
I do not know how to procceed. Can you help me?
The following should work for you assuming the dms namespace is always the same
doc.xpath('//CONTENT/dms:ComplexResponse', dms: 'http://dmsmanagerservice')
.xpath('#ErrorCode | #ErrorDescription')
.each_with_object({}) do |e,obj|
obj[e.name] = e.text
end
#=> {"ErrorCode"=>"430", "ErrorDescription"=>"null : PrivacyUE Mancante"}
You already understand how you got to //CONTENT so from there we use dms:ComplexResponse to navigate deeper but since this is namespaced we have to provide the namespace reference e.g. dms: 'http://dmsmanagerservice'.
Then we select the attributes we are interested in #ErrorCode and #ErrorDescription.
In XPath the pipe | means UNION (think AND) so we want to select both.
Then we are just building a Hash using the name as the key and the text as the value.
XPath Cheatsheet - Useful resource if you need additional reference
Update
You asked about conditionals so this is what I would propose
ndoc = Nokogiri::XML(doc)
namespaces = ndoc.collect_namespaces
response = ndoc.xpath("//CONTENT/dms:ComplexResponse", namespaces)
if response.xpath("self::node()[#ErrorCode != '' and #ErrorDescription != '']").any?
response.xpath("#ErrorCode | #ErrorDescription")
.each_with_object({}) do |e,obj|
obj[e.name] = e.text
end
else
response.xpath('dms:Element/#Name | dms:Element/text()',namespaces)
.each_slice(2)
.map {|s| s.map(&:text)}.to_h
end
This checks to see if there is an ErrorCode and and ErrorDescription if so then Hash as originally proposed. If Not then it returns all the dms:Elements as a Hash so {"DMSVERSION"=>"2.7"} in this case Functional Example
I have following Structure: I am trying to build a robust method to extract the elements of FT1_19_0 of the FT1_19 Tag in the order they appear. However
in my results the elements are rearranged. How can i get my result in correct order.
//*/FT1_19/FT1_19_0[contains(../FT1_19_2,'I10') and
not(.=../following::FT1_19/FT1_19_0)]

Use this if you are using java:

for(WebElement we:list) {
System.out.println(we.getText());
}
I'm trying to filter xml file to get nodes with certain attribute. I can successfully filter by node (ex. \top_manager), but when I try \\top_manager[#salary='great'] I get nothing.
<?xml version= "1.0"?>
<employee xmlns="http://www.w3schools.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="employee.xsd">
<top_manager>

</fname>
<lname>

<cio salary="big" respect="great" type="intro">

Pypkin
</lname>
<hire_date>
25
</hire_date>
<descr>

</descr>
</cio>
</top_manager>
......
How I need to correct this code to get what I need?
require 'nokogiri'
f = File.open("employee.xml")
doc = Nokogiri::XML(f)
doc.xpath("//top_manager[#salary='great']").each do |node|
puts node.text
end
thank you.
That's because salary is not attribute of <top_manager> element, it is the attribute of <top_manager>'s children elements :
//xmlns:top_manager[*[#salary='great']]
Above XPath select <top_manager> element having any of it's child element has attribute salary equals "great". Or if you meant to select the children (the <ceo> element in this case) :
//xmlns:top_manager/*[#salary='great']
I want to get a set of elements from a xml-file, but as soon the the elements involve namespaces, it fails.
This is a fragment of the xml file:

I want to get all the grounspeak:cache elements, but neither //groundspeak:cache nor //cache seems to return anything.
NSArray *caches = [self.xml nodesForXPath:#"//cache" error:&error];
Any clue?
Edit: Are there any cocoa-based software out there, where I can load my xml and test different xpaths? I'm quite new to objective-c and cocoa, so it would be nice to check that it is really my xpath that is wrong..
This //cache means: a descendant element under no namespace (or empty namespace)
Your groundspeak:cache element is under a namespace URI http://www.groundspeak.com/cache/1/0.
So, if you can't declare a namespace-prefix binding (I think you can't with cocoa...), you could use this XPath expression:
//*[namespace-uri()='http://www.groundspeak.com/cache/1/0' and
local-name()='cache']
If you don't want to be so strict about namespace...
//*[local-name()='cache']
But this last is a bad practice, because you could end up selecting wrong nodes, and because when dealing with XML, your tool should support namespaces.
As proof, this stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:copy-of select="//*[namespace-uri() =
'http://www.groundspeak.com/cache/1/0' and
local-name() = 'cache']"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Output:

You need to add a new namespace attribute to the root node of your document, defining a prefix that you can use when querying the children:
NSXMLDocument *xmldoc = ...
NSXMLElement *namespace = [NSXMLElement namespaceWithName:#"mns" stringValue:#"http://mynamespaceurl.com/mynamespace"];
[xmldoc.rootElement addNamespace:namespace];
then when you query things later, you can use that prefix to refer to the namespace:
NSArray * caches = [xmldoc.rootElement nodesForXPath:#"//mns:caches" error:&error];
//groundspeak:cache should work. You might need a namespace-uri setting as well
