Full xpath support in visual basic?
Hi,
In an excel 2003 VB application I address data using XPath. I'm using filters in the XPath expression, however I'm disturbed to see that filters only works at last node in an expressions like "/root/foo/bar[@no='5']" and do not work in this expression "/root/foo[@no='5']/bar" Some of my code looks like this: Set xp = ActiveSheet.Range("j32").XPath xp.SetValue ActiveWorkbook.XmlMaps(mymapname), "/pipe-int/pipe_design/cross_sectional_design/layers/layer[@no='14']/outer_diameter" Is it correct that filters are only supported at last node, I really can't imagine this but I've tried different setups that support this question. Am I missing some dll's or do you have any idea of what could be wrong? |

Jesper,
Not that I know anything about XPath, but: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...03XMLIntro.asp <Quote An optional filter can be expressed at the end of the xpath. Example: "/ns1:root/ns1:row/ns1:column1[@foo='abc']" is supported but not "/ns1:root/ns1:row[@foo='abc']/ns1:column1" </Quote NickHK "Jesper" wrote in message ...

Thank you Nick,
Does anyone know why MS has chosen this stripped down xpath parser? regard Jesper.
