Hello,
The Find/Replace in Files dialog does not have an XPath search field. Do you mean you want to have such an XPath field in this dialog too (Find/Replace in Files) as in the dialog Find/Replace that is used for find/replace in a single file?
Regards,
Sorin

Re: Xpath Search across files
Hi
I also have wanted to have XPath searches across files. I know this would be a time consuming search but sometimes you just need a search like this.
I have tried using the XPath extension:
collection('.?select=*.xml;recurse=true')//
I have found using this API function brittle (especially recursion) and I would not try to share this with my colleagues.
Would it be a simple task to use this existing API function within the 'Find in files' dialog? Does this API extension already do the heavy lifting required to implement this feature?

Hello csalsa,
As I said we already have this feature request logged in our system.
Thank you for your request,
Sorin
No, Oxygen does not use the XPath function called collection for the implementation of find/replace in files. The collection function is implemented by XPath processors but Oxygen does the search with custom code, not by calling an XPath processor.csalsa wrote:I have tried using the XPath extension:
