XPath to return string concatenation of qualifying child node values

Question

Can anyone please suggest an XPath expression format that returns a string value containing the concatenated values of certain qualifying child nodes of an element, but igno

Answer 1

This look that works:

Using as context /div/:

text() | em/text()

Or without the use of context:

/div/text() | /div/em/text()

If you want to concat the first two strings, use this:

concat(/div/text(), /div/em/text())
