xpath with another xpath between single quotes

[neptas]

Hello,

Im using an xpath expression to find a node in a xml variable. In this xpath I need to equal the text part of the resolved node to the value returned from the xpath from another xml variable. The value returned from the second xpath needs to be between single quotes in the first xpath, but it is not working. I already tried this:

/path_to_xml1/root_node/node[text = '/path_to_xml2/root_node/node']

string(/path_to_xml1/root_node/node[text = '/path_to_xml2/root_node/node'])

string(/path_to_xml1/root_node/node[text = 'string(/path_to_xml2/root_node/node')])

thank you

When you say : "...I need to equal the text part of the resolved node", are you talking about a text attribute of the node or just the value of that node?

If it's just the value of the node then you should just use /path_to_xml1/root_node/node /path_to_xml2/root_node/node

Hi,

Im trying to get the value of a node attribute that I will select based on the node value. The node value it is given from another process variable.

Thank you

Try the following:

/path_to_xml1/root_node/node[text = 'string(/path_to_xml2/root_node/node)']

Hi

I haven't tried it, but I think that might be:

/path_to_xml1/root_node/node[text = string(/path_to_xml2/root_node/node)]

i.e. without the quotes.

Please let us know if either approach works.
