Re: [xml] noob xpath question

Yes, this is a variant I tried. xpath1.c sample code returns "Result 
(0 nodes):" where as /myroot/myelement returns (as I would expect):

Result (2 nodes):
= element node "myelement"
= element node "myelement"

I have been interpreting the 0-node result as my mistake in syntax, 
but based on another off-list reply, and yours, I have at least on 
several occasions used the correct syntax. I hesitate to blame the 
sample code though, as I am pretty green at this so far.

Thanks I will try this.
