get attribute from xml file

Question

My XML file entry:

<GlobalView xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/package/2006/relationships"&gt;
    <rels>
        <Relationship Id="rId3" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/extended-properties" Target="docProps/app.xml"/>
    </rels>

---

wanna query attribute Id inside Relationship element.... I am using the query given below and it works till element Relationship and not giving me the value of Id attribute.

for $file in doc("C:/Users/Raffay/Desktop/RnDxr.xml")
return $file/GlobalView/child::rels/child::Relationship

Thanking in advance

Answer 1

Try

GlobalView/child::rels/child::Relationship/@Id

or in abbreviated form

GlobalView/rels/Relationship/@Id

Answer 2

Use:

declare default element namespace 
     "http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/package/2006/relationships";

let $vIds := 
    for $file in doc("C:/Users/Raffay/Desktop/RnDxr.xml") 
     return $file/GlobalView/rels/Relationship/@Id

There are two visible problems with the provided original code:

1. The XML document contained in $file has a default namespace. Without a declaration of default element namespace all unprefixed names in an expression are considered to belong in "no namespace" and no node would be selected.

2. The expression aims to select a Relationship element, but the attribute Id of this element is what is really is wanted.
