aspx thread: Xpath query?


Message #1 by "Oliver, Wells" <WOliver@l...> on Tue, 5 Nov 2002 11:23:54 -0800
I am having trouble building an Xpath query. I am trying to grab all nodes
(will only be one, really) of USER that have an ACCOUNT tribute that matches
a string.

Example XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 
<users>
 <user account="telcom\woliver">
  <catalog id="1" level="3" /> 
 </user>
</users>

Xpath attempt:
descendant::user[account="DOMAIN\\user"]

Any tips?

account is an attribute so precede it with @:
descendant::user[@account='DOMAIN\\user']
