In the XML example below, what is the XML path in AA to get to a value like the price of the book 'Everyday Italian' without looping through the nodes.

 

I think in VBA something like this works:

//bookktitle/text()='Everyday Italian']/price

 

but that gives me an error in AA

 

'//DefaultNSPrefix:bookotitle/DefaultNSPrefix:text()='Everyday Italian']/DefaultNSPrefix:price' has an invalid token.

 

Example XML:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

 

<bookstore>

 

<book category="cooking">

  <title lang="en">Everyday Italian</title>

  <author>Giada De Laurentiis</author>

  <year>2005</year>

  <price>30.00</price>

</book>

 

<book category="children">

  <title lang="en">Harry Potter</title>

  <author>J K. Rowling</author>

  <year>2005</year>

  <price>29.99</price>

</book>

 

<book category="web">

  <title lang="en">XQuery Kick Start</title>

  <author>James McGovern</author>

  <author>Per Bothner</author>

  <author>Kurt Cagle</author>

  <author>James Linn</author>

  <author>Vaidyanathan Nagarajan</author>

  <year>2003</year>

  <price>49.99</price>

</book>

 

<book category="web">

  <title lang="en">Learning XML</title>

  <author>Erik T. Ray</author>

  <year>2003</year>

  <price>39.95</price>

</book>

 

</bookstore>
