Xpath selecting specific attributes and concatinating their values.

I have a the following xml node.

<doc tag1="a" tag2="b" tag3="c" docTag1="d" docTag2="e"/>

I would like to output "abc"

I have the following XPATH2.0 so far
//doc/@*[name()[starts-with(.,'tag')]]

which returns a node list.
Is there a better way of concatinating these?

thanks in advance for any advice

Hi all, I have recently started working with the new XML functionality in PHP5, but I am running into a few problems. Specifically, I am using an Xpath query to try and pull out the data in specific elements within my XML file. The problem I am getting is that one of the XML elements contains namespace attributes and this seems to prevent the Xpath query from working (ie, if I manually strip the namespace attributes then the query works...

I refined my attempt a little further, and the following code does seem to work, however it has 2 major problems: 1. Very limited support for XPath features Basic paths are supported for elements, attributes, ".", and "..", plus also the "" predicate format is supported - however, only one predicate per path step is supported, and expr must be a relative path. 2. Poor performance

VB6, MSXML 3.2 installed: Q1. I am having a problem selecting nodes with XPATH expressions when an attribute values contain backslashes (\\) in as part of its value: For example the following statement fails to find a node (even though one exists in the XML) if the value of the LDAPServerURL attribute is \\LocalServer but works if the value is "LocalServer".

Background: I am trying to "merge" some attributes into an existing XML column in my MS SQL 2005 database. The general idea is that I have an XML column in a table and I would like to update/delete some values while leaving the other values alone. I am designing this database/table/column so maybe I could use attributes or elements/nodes, the choice is ultimately mine. The one constraint is that I have to allow for customized name/value pairs....

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
