Hi all,
the following expression works only in XPATH 2.0
Code: Select all
/ABC/XYZ/text()=('9','293','305','332')
Is there any workaroud to do this in XPATH 1.0?
Thanks

/ABC/XYZ/text()=('9'or '293' or'305' or '332')

Sorry, that does not work.
The expression with the ORs does always return true, although the value in the XML is totally different.
Could anybody please help?
Regards
Mario

Hi Radu,
thanks for the hint.
The XPATH has no syntax error and works with XPATH1.0 :
Code: Select all
contains(/M_UTILMD/G_SG2/S_NAD[D_3035='MS']/C_C082/D_3055/text(), '293')
But - asuming the value in the XML would be X293X, the expression return true although 293 is not X293X
It is just a contains, not an equals
Any other ideas?
Regards
Mario

Hi Mario,
Right, that's why that post on StackOverflow suggested adding those spaces between the tokens in the string, to avoid such cases.
