If you have an XML file which includes a namespace you have to use a prefix in your XPath expression. Here you have a sample XML file with a namespace: http://someurl.org/2012Code:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<test attribute1="nothing here" xmlns="http://someurl.org/2012">
<book>
<name>title1</name>
</book>
<book>
<name>title2</name>
</book>
</test>
Normally you should use /test[1]/book[2]/name[1] to get the title2 as result. Now with the namespace in the XML file, add the namespace in the Namespaces list and add a prefix, e.g. x. You should change the XPath expession to: / x:test[1]/ x:book[2]/ x:name[1] Now you get the title2 as result. ErikC attached the following image(s): |
