When I worked mostly in Windows, I used Stylus Studio to test out XPath on my XML files. Now that I primarily use OS X, I haven't found an equivalent tool. What tools for OS X do you recommend for XPath work? ...

I've not used XML too much and I need a little help. My .NET application gets this XML response from the W3C's public validation server: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"> <env:Body> <m:markupvalidationresponse env:encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2...

To give some background to this problem first, I am rewriting some code that currently loops through some xml, doing an insert to a table at the end of each loop - replacing with a single sp that takes an xml parameter and does the insert in one go, 'shredding' the xml into a table. The main shred has been done successfully,but curren...
I am performing a search in an XML file, using the following code: $result = $xml->xpath("//StopPoint[contains(StopName, '$query')]"); Where $query is the search query, and StopName is the name of a bus stop. The problem is, it's case sensitive. And not only that, I would also be able to search with non-english characters like ÆØÅæøå...

I'm using XPath 1.0 to process incoming web services messages. This can be quite hard to get right if schema data types are used, because XPath 1.0 does not recognize them (XPath 2.0 does, but there seems to be no full open source implementation. Not sure if Saxon-B does this). E.g., the literals "true" and "false" in a xs:boolean repr...
XPath (v1) contains no way to encode expressions. If you only have single OR double quotes then you can use expressions such as //review[@name="Bob's Pizza"] //review[@name='"Pizza" Pam'] But if you have BOTH e.g [Fred's "Fancy Pizza"] then you have to use something like this Escaping Strings in XPath (C++) to generate //review[@n...
I've recently hit a wall with an issue with Java's native XML API (the W3C one) which at its core is that if I try to use a direct XPath expression in my document like, say, //body the XPath is evaluated as false (incorrect behaviour), however if I replace that with //*[1] it evaluates as true (desired behaviour). I have checked numero...
Hello, I have an array of objects that are IXpathNavigable. I want to access the array through an xsl extention object, so I should probably do that by using an XPathNodeIterator. But how do I properly create the NodeIterator so that it iterates over the array? ...
I use Nokogiri (Rubygem) css search to look for certain <div> inside my html. It looks like Nokogiri's css search doesn't like regex. I would like to switch to Nokogiri's xpath search as this seems to support regex in search strings. How do I implement the (pseudo) css search mentioned below in an xpath search? require 'rubygems' requi...

I have a GWT application for which I'm trying to write some tests using Selenium. I'm using XPath to identify the elements on the page for the tests. Using id won't work as the id values are auto-generated by GWT and can change. Things started going well when I realised I could find buttons by their labels as follows: //button[.='OK'...
I'm trying to fill the variables parent_element_h1 and parent_element_h2.

While trying to parse html using Yahoo Query Language and xpath functionality provided by YQL, I ran into problems of not being able to extract “text()” or attribute values. For e.g. perma link select * from html where url="http://stackoverflow.com" and xpath='//div/h3/a' gives a list of anchors as xml <results> <a class="qu...
