struggling with xpath to find a element mathing a value

[Dinesh Rampal]

Hi All

I have spent close to two days struggling to find a element matching a value.

my xml looks like this :

<xml>

    <qdbapi>

      <record>

                    <sku_plant>abcd</sku_plant>

                    <sku>ab</sku>

                     <plant>cd</plant>

      </record>

      <record>

                    <sku_plant>efgh</sku_plant>

                    <sku>ef</sku>

                     <plant>gh</plant>

      </record>

      <record>

                    <sku_plant>ijkl</sku_plant>

                    <sku>ij</sku>

                     <plant>kl</plant>

      </record>

    </qdbapi>

</xml>

I am trying to use xmlfinaldoc.find( ) like following, but it gets all sku_plant, rather than the one which i want;

               var x='/qdbapi/record/sku_plant/text()[contains(.,efgh)]';

         var arr = xmlFinalDoc.find(x);

The array arr returns all the element and not the one i want. Where am i going wrong ? How can i find the object record which has a sku_plant (efgh). In my design sku_plant is unique across all records.

thanks

Dinesah,

Try this XPath instead:

var x='//qdbapi/record/sku_plant[contains(text(),\'efgh\')]';
