Message: [QUOTE="anne001, post: 4615107"] This code returns the first dataformat element. And yet the second dataformat is the one containing SPPT. What am I doing wrong? require "rexml/document" include REXML string = <<EOF <dataformats> <dataformat> <fileidentifiers> <fileidentifier>CFMT</fileidentifier> </fileidentifiers> </dataformat> <dataformat> <fileidentifiers> <fileidentifier>SPPT</fileidentifier> </fileidentifiers> </dataformat> </dataformats> EOF doc = Document.new string xpathquery="//dataformat[contains(fileidentifier, SPPT)]" p XPath.first(doc,xpathquery).to_s [/QUOTE]
