Re: Xalan C / XPath question

Hi Coker,

I tried to reproduce your problem on my end, but am getting the correct output with the sample SimpleXPathAPI being included with the Xalan package, absolutely no problem, its working fine.

Hello,
  I am pretty new to this so I hope someone can help me.  I am trying to
access data using XPath and I am getting some confusing results.  The
XML looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Game Name="Game1">
        <Player>
                <Name  ID="1">Jonathan</Name>
                <Weapon  Active="0">Gun</Weapon>
        </Player>
        <Player>
                <Name  ID="2">Sam</Name>
                <Weapon  Active="1">Sword</Weapon>
        </Player>
</Game>

Before I start posting code I will start simple.  If I put in an XPath
_expression_ like /Game/Player/Name/text()  I get back a nodeset with
'Jonathan' and 'Sam'.  If I put in /Game/Player/Name[@ID=1]/text()  I
was expecting to get just 'Jonathan'.  However, I get a zero length
nodeset.  Am I forming the XPath _expression_ correctly (XMLSpy says
parses it OK)?  Thank you for any help.
