Find all nodes that have an attribute that matches a certain value with scala

Question

I saw the following example on Nabble, where the goal was to return all nodes that contain an attribute with an id of X that contains a value Y:

//find all nodes         


        

Answer 1

I'm quite new to Scala, I propose you this solution, but I'm not sure this is the best one:

def attributeValueEquals(value: String)(node: Node) = {
  node.attributes.foldLeft(false)((a : Boolean, x : MetaData) => a | (x.value == value))
}

val testResults = (xml \\ "_").filter(attributeValueEquals("test")) 
println("testResults: " + testResults )

// prints: testResults: ArrayBuffer(hello, 
// 
hello
, 
// )
