xpath expression from xml with namespace prefix
I could not get the following xpath expression to work when the xml path namespace prefix set. /bk:BookStore/bk:Books/bk:Book[text()='Time Machine'] XML is: <BookStore xmlns:bk="http://www.bookstore.com/book#"> <bk:Books> <bk:Book id="1">Time Machine></bk:Book> </bk:Books> </bk:BookStore> Dimitre Novatchev Without more information about the host language (in which you attempt to evaluate XPath expressions) it is not possible to provide an useful recommendation . Generally, one needs to "register" a namespace with a namespace manager and this also associates a prefix to the registered namespace
