Question

Hey I would like to find a given text in an xml that looks like this:

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://...">
<s:Body>
<About_ServiceResponse xmlns="http://...>
<About_ServiceResult xmlns:a="http://>
<a:businessServiceVersionStructureField> <a:BusinessServiceVersionStructureType>                                                        <a:businessServiceDBVersionNameField>V001</a:businessServiceDBVersionNameField>
<a:businessServiceVersionNameField>Some Service^V100</a:businessServiceVersionNameField>
           </a:BusinessServiceVersionStructureType>
        </a:businessServiceVersionStructureField>
     </About_ServiceResult>
  </About_ServiceResponse>
</s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

So in this example i would like to find the text: “Some Service”.

I have tried with Xpath but could not get that to work. I have also tried with Gpath and all i could get there was all of the texts in one long String.

How would you do this in GPath or/and XPath?

Answer 1

Try this XPath:

//*[contains(text(), 'Some Service')]

It will return all elements which contain text node with Some Service
