Hello All,
I need some help with an XPath issue (this is for an xi:include in an XML doc,
I am not using XLST to transform the XML, so I'm not sure if this is even
possible). I want to retrieve all the parent nodes, but not any of the chilren
nodes:
Example:
<root>
<parent1>
<child>
</child>
</parent1>
<parent2>
<child>
<child>
</parent2>
</root>
I want to get some xpath to grab just the parent nodes:
Xpath to retrieve:
<parent1/>
<parent2/>
Does anyone know how to do this with XPath w/o using XSLT to transform the
xml?
TYIA!
-Joel
