Xpath: select node based in a condition (with local-name())

Question

The question is quite silly, but I am completely stuck. I want to extract child nodes of a node based on a condition. The XML is as follows:

Answer 1

You probably meant

//*[local-name()='a'][*[local-name()='aCode']='aaa']

Answer 2

This one work:

//*[local-name()='a'][*[local-name()='acode' and text()='a2']]

and also this one:

//*[local-name()='a'][aCode[text()='a2']]

Answer 3

Try this

/a/aCode[text()='aaa']

or

//*[local-name() = 'aCode' and text() = 'aaa']

You have used // at wrong place.
