How do I run XPath queries in QT?

Question

How do I run an XPath query in QT?

I need to sort out certain tags with specific values in a certain attribute. The QXmlQuery documentation is anything but legible.

The schema I'm parsing is the Rhythmbox DB format:

<rhythmdb version="1.6">
  <entry type="ignore">
    <title></title>
    <genre></genre>
    <artist></artist>
    <album></album>
    <location>file:///mnt/disk/music/Cover.jpg</location>
    <mountpoint>file:///mnt/disk</mountpoint>
    <mtime>1222396828</mtime>
    <date>0</date>
    <mimetype>application/octet-stream</mimetype>
    <mb-trackid></mb-trackid>
    <mb-artistid></mb-artistid>
    <mb-albumid></mb-albumid>
    <mb-albumartistid></mb-albumartistid>
    <mb-artistsortname></mb-artistsortname>
  </entry>
  <entry type="song">
    <title>Bar</title>
    <genre>Foobared Music</genre>
    <artist>Foo</artist>
    <album>The Great big Bar</album>
    <track-number>1</track-number>
    <disc-number>1</disc-number>
    <duration>208</duration>
    <file-size>8694159</file-size>
    <location>file:///media/disk/music/01-Foo_-_Bar.ogg
    <mountpoint>file:///media/disk
    <mtime>1216995840</mtime>
    <first-seen>1250478814</first-seen>
    <last-seen>1250478814</last-seen>
    <bitrate>301</bitrate>
    <date>732677</date>
    <mimetype>application/x-id3</mimetype>
    <mb-trackid></mb-trackid>
    <mb-artistid></mb-artistid>
    <mb-albumid></mb-albumid>
    <mb-albumartistid></mb-albumartistid>
    <mb-artistsortname></mb-artistsortname>
  </entry>
</rhythmdb>

This is your basic XML Schema which has a collection of structured entries. My intention was to filter out the entries with the type 'ignore'.

Do you mean Qt as in the Qt toolkit? If so, Patternist might be of use.
