How to get first grandparent attribute not nodeset?

[K B]

Hi,

I'm using this...

//Role[@UserName='kbur ke'][not(@finish)]/../../@Name

but it returns more than one result. I need the FIRST grandparent @Name
returned. I've tried:

//Role[@UserName='kbur ke'][not(@finish)]/../../item[1]/@Name and
variations of last() but haven't gotten it yet.

Thanks,
Kit

Consider showing the relevant input XML structure that is is easier to
give you a proper XPath expression.
If you want only one node you can always do e.g.
expression[1]
in the above case
(//Role[@UserName='kbur ke'][not(@finish)]/../../@Name)[1]
Other variations that might give you what you want are
//Role[@UserName='kbur ke'][not(@finish)][1]/../../@Name

If those suggestions don't help then show us the XML input.
