I'm trying to figure out how to select the final instance of "DDD" in the following example, (//DDD)[last()] By putting the XPath expression in parentheses you are obtaining the set of all DDD elements from the whole document. Then, applying the predicate to the entire set, you end up with the last DDD. Had you not used parentheses you would end up with the set of all DDD elements that are the last of their sibling DDD elements. I hope this helps. ................... Ken
