Applying the xpath second time?

[Jari Lammi]

Hi!

Am I thinking this wrong and if yes, how?

Trying to parse camt.053.001.02.xml from https://www.iso20022.org/documents/messages/camt/instances/camt.053.001.02.zip where I’m able to select Ntry:

require ’nokogiri’

camt = Nokogiri::XML(File.read("camt.053.001.02.xml"), "rb”)

a=camt.xpath('//xmlns:Ntry’)

a.count

which gives 3. But shouldn’t it be possible to search things further from a?

2.1.8 :042 > a.xpath('//BookgDt//DtTm')

 => []

Which means I’m unable to follow the basic searching example on the tutorial. How do you do it?

Thanks in advance!

Jari
