Get all attributes, XPATH

hose

Dear All, I am getting stuck with this for a few days :(
and about to decide to give up or find an alternative, but I want to give it a last try :(

My question is how can we write an Xpath expression to get all attributes from an element with ID begins with "ext"

I have tried something like blow, but did not work :(

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

//@*[starts-with(@ID,"ext")]

Below is my XML file

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <?xml version="1.0"?>

<books>

    <book ID="extension1" available="yes">

        <title>Book Title 1</title>

        <price>100 - 200</price>

    </book>

    <book ID="Book001" available="no">

        <title>Book Title 2</title>

        <price>400 - 500</price>

    </book>

    <book ID="extension2">

        <title>Book Title 3</title>

        <price>abc - 500</price>

    </book>

    <book available="soon">

        <title>Book Title 5</title>

        <price>a100 - c200</price>

    </book>

    <book ID="Book003" available="yes">

        <title>Book Title 6</title>

        <price>c100 - 200</price>

    </book>

</books>

There is a mistake in your xpath expression. The correct one is like the following:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

//*[starts-with(@ID,'ext')]

If you need an example of using the xpath starts-with function in Python, see the example #2 in this http://murzal-arsya.blogspot.com/200...hon-using.html
