xpath-2.0

I have this XML: <property id="1011"> <leasehold>No</leasehold> <freehold>Yes</freehold> <propertyTypes> <propertyType>RESIDENTIAL</propertyType> </propertyTypes> </property> and I want to create an xpath statement that is same as the following nested if-else pseudocode block. if( propertyTypes/propertyType == 'RESIDENTIAL') { if( leasehold == 'Yes' ){ return 'Rent' } else return 'Buy' } } else { if( leasehold == 'Yes' ){ return 'Leasehold' } else return 'Freehold' } } I've seen something about Becker's method but I couldn't really follow it. XPath isn't my strong point really. I. In XPath 2.0

I have a dateTime variable, and I want to convert it to a decimal value of epoch. How can this be done? I tried using: seconds-from-duration($time, xs:dateTime('1970-01-01T00:00:00')) but it just returns 0. Please advice. Thanks. This transformation : <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <xsl:output method="text"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:sequence select="current-dateTime()"/> <xsl:sequence select= "( current-dateTime() - xs:dateTime('1970-01-01T00:00:00') ) div xs:dayTimeDuration('PT1S') "/> </xsl

i am trying to use the following xpath query in python from lxml.html.soupparser import fromstring root = fromstring(inString) nodes = root.xpath(".//p3[matches(.,'ABC')]//preceding::p2//p3") but it gives me the error nodes = root.xpath(".//p3[matches(.,'ABC')]//preceding::p2//p3") File "lxml.etree.pyx", line 1507, in lxml.etree._Element.xpath (src\lxml\lxml.etree.c:52198) File "xpath.pxi", line 307, in lxml.etree.XPathElementEvaluator.__call__ (src\lxml\lxml.etree.c:152124) File "xpath.pxi", line 227, in lxml.etree._XPathEvaluatorBase._handle_result (src\lxml\lxml.etree.c:151097) File "xpath

I need to extract (XSLT, xpath, xquery... Preferably xpath) the most deeply nested element nodes with method (DEST id="RUSSIA" method="delete"/>) and his direct ancestor (SOURCE id="AFRICA" method="modify">). I don't want to get the top nodes with methods ( main method="modify"> or main method="modify"> ). The deepest nested elements with method correspond to real actions. The top elements with method actually are dummy actions that must not be taken into account. Here is my XML sample file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <main method="modify"> <MACHINE method="modify"> <SOURCE id=

I have recently been working with XPath and have been searching for information on which browsers support XPath 2.0 without much luck. The best I could find was the query technologies comparison table of various rendering engines. This clearly tells me that Firefox and IE (all versions of both) do not support XPath 2.0, but what about the other rendering engines for Chrome, Safari, etc.? Does anybody have any information on this or know where one can find it? I do not know of any, and the official list of implementations doesn't include one either. An alternative - of course less performant

I have an XPath expression which provides me a sequence of values like the one below: 1 2 2 3 4 5 5 6 7 It is easy to convert this to a set of unique values 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 using distinct-values() . However, what I want to extract is the list of duplicate values = 2 5 . I can't think of an easy way to do this. Can anyone help? Use this simple XPath 2.0 expression : $vSeq[index-of($vSeq,.)[2]] where $vSeq is the sequence of values in which we want to find the duplicates.
