Xpath query for ends with

7 New Member
Hi

I was wondering if we can use Xpath query for finding nodes that ends with a 'string' value entered by the user. For example we can use the following query for finding the nodes that starts with a string

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  XmlNodeList nodeList = xmlDoc.SelectNodes("//Country[starts-with(@Name,'a')]");
When I tried replacing 'starts -with' with 'ends- with' in the above query, it showed the error below

Namespace Manager or XsltContext needed. This query has a prefix, variable, or user-defined function.

How to write an Xpath query for finding nodes that ends with a particular string? Or is their any other method? I am using ASP.net -C#

Thanks a lot
Kim

Hi

I found the solution; need to use substring function

XmlNodeList nodeList = xmlDoc.SelectNo des("//Country[substring(@Name , string-length(@Name) - string-length('" + this.TextBox1.T ext + "')+ 1, string-length(@Name))= '" + this.TextBox1.T ext + "']");

BTW, my the xml file is as follows
<World>
<Country name ="Denmark"/>
<Country Name = "India"/>
</World>

Hi All, I have a task that should be very simple but I'm running into trouble. All I want to do is query a document using XPath, and save the resulting XML in a string. Here's that I am trying (PHP5): // $xml has the entire XML document in it; I included it for reference at the end of the document $dom = new DOMDocument(); $dom->loadXML($xml);

Are there any tools (java classes, tag libraries) which can translate xpath statements into a SQL query? Given an xpath query which has a predicate that filters node values or attributes, I want help constructing the Where clause of a SQL statement that will mirror the expressions and functions contained in the predicate. Such a tool may require an XML to DB mapping or it would need to make assumptions about the structure of the...

Hello Everyone, I'm writing a server in java, and I want the clients to pass me an XPath query. I want the XPath queries to be in a specific format though, I'm pretty sure it's valid but I want your help. We have several -top level- documents that the user is allowed returned to them from the query. We don't want them grabbing subchunks of the XML without that being encased in one of the allowed top documents. For example, "Person" is...

I posted this to the wrong group. It went to m.p.dotnet.languages.vb. Ooops. -------------------------------------------------------------------- I have this tiny problem. I have learned that an xpath expression can be bounded by either single or double quotation marks. But sometimes I want to search for a title containing both a single and double quote. Any way to do this?

OK, here's the deal. I have a small XML file that represents a small database table. I load it into a System.XML.XMLDocument. So far so good. I run an XPath query against it to retrieve all the field names. Everything there works fine. Here's my XML Document: <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?> <DataSet1 xmlns="http://www.tempuri.org/DataSet1.xsd"> <tblItem>

Hello -- I'm attempting to get a handle on how to do xpath queries with System.Xml -- so far the biggest hurdle has been how to deal with a default namespace. If I use the test xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <thing xmlns="urn:thing-schema-v1"> <foo>foo thing</foo> <bar>bar thing</bar>
