Question

I’ve an xml doc like below. I was trying to select a title node with a particular value in it say "![CDATA[ 1234 ]]". That Title node may be in any Type node. I was using this xpath query

/Results/ResultSet/Type[Title="![CDATA[ 1234 ]]"]

but didnt get anything selected. can someone pls help.

<Results>
    <Info>...</Info>
    <ResultSet num="4">

     <Type type="A">

      <Title>
      <![CDATA[ 1234 ]]>
      </Title>

      <Description>
      <![CDATA[ 1234 ]]>
      </Description>

      <Domain>
      <![CDATA[1234 ]]>
      </Domain>

      <Target>
      <![CDATA[]]>
      </Target>

     </Type>

    <Type type="A">

    <Title>
    <![CDATA[ abcdef ]]>
    </Title>

    <Description>
    <![CDATA[abcdef]]>
    </Description>

    <Domain>
    <![CDATA[abcdef]]>
    </Domain>

    <Target>
    <![CDATA[abcdef]]>
    </Target>

    </Type>

EDIT: included the ruby code that I am using

       doc = Nokogiri::HTML(html)
       Element = doc.xpath('/Results/ResultSet/Type/Title[text()=" 1234 "]')
    if Element.empty?()
          puts "not there "
    else
       Element.each do |node|
       puts  "Found Title: #{node.text}" 
       end
    end
    end

The XPath is wrong:

Use this:

/Results/ResultSet/Type/Title[text()=" 1234 "]

Based on the link OP posted for the XML, here is the working XPath:

/QuigoResults/ResultSet/Listing/Title[text()=" location in DYNAMICREGION "]
