Question about selecting a child in xPath

Question

Looking at w3schools for xPath (feel free to give me other references), you can select all the children of bookstore, but what if I wanted to only select the second book element? How can I do that?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<bookstore>

<book>
  <title lang="eng">Harry Potter</title>
  <price>29.99</price>
</book>

<book>
  <title lang="eng">Learning XML</title>
  <price>39.95</price>
</book>

</bookstore>

Answer 1

You could select the n-th element with [n], e.g.

/bookstore/book[2]

See "Predicates" in http://www.w3schools.com/XPath/xpath_syntax.asp for detail.
