Find all nodes that have an attribute that matches a certain value with scala

Question

I saw the following example on Nabble, where the goal was to return all nodes that contain an attribute with an id of X that contains a value Y:

//find all nodes         


        

Answer 1

The previous solutions didn't work for me because they all look for any value that matches. If you want to look for a particular attribute with a value, here is my solution:

def getByAtt(e: Elem, att: String, value: String) = {
    def filterAtribute(node: Node, att: String, value: String) =  (node \ ("@" + att)).text == value   
    e \\ "_" filter { n=> filterAtribute(n, att, value)} 
}

And then

getByAtt(xml, "class", "test")

This will differentiate between class="test" and "notclass="test"
