I am looking for a XML tool which does the following things.
What are other people using out there?
I've used something from source forge but it only selects one matched node.
Visual XPath here: http://weblogs.asp.net/nleghari/pages/visualxpath.aspx will at least give you part of what you're looking for.
And it's free, comes with source ...

Cooktop - free, not developed anymore, but it does its job.
A quick review from Gadgetopia: XML Cooktop
The XPath Visualizer has been available for almost 9 years and has helped thousands of people learn XPath the fun way. Available for IE and for FireFox.
The XPath Visualizer is a popular tool for learning XPath by playing with XPath expressions. Free and open source.
Allows any XPath expression to be evaluated against a given XML document and displayes the results hi-lighted in the xml document (if they are node(s)) or in a separate box (if the results are atomic values).
Allows xsl:variable-s to be defined and then used in XPath expressions.
Allows xsl:key-s to be defined and then referenced by key() functions within XPath expressions.
Re: The issue you have with SketchPath "Failed to Initialize Application..."
Its hard to be certain without further detail, but the issue you're experiencing is most likely related to security permissions of the logon account you are using. SketchPath is a .NET 2.0 application requiring "Full Trust" ClickOnce permissions.
I'm the developer of SketchPath, so if you need any further help please contact me at [email protected]
Finally, I'm bound to recommend SketchPath, but each tool recommended here will have its own strengths, so the choice will be down to your specific needs and constraints.
