Scala: XML Attribute parsing

Question

I\'m trying to parse a rss feed that looks like this for the attribute \"date\":

Answer 1

Also, think about the difference between \ and \\. \\ looks for a descendent, not just a child, like this (note that it jumps from channel to c, without item):

scala> (rssFeed \\ "channel" \\ "c" \ "@date").text
res20: String = AA

Or this sort of thing if you just want all the < c > elements, and don't care about their parents:

scala> (rssFeed \\ "c" \ "@date").text            
res24: String = AA

And this specifies an exact path:

scala> (rssFeed \ "channel" \ "item" \ "c" \ "@date").text
res25: String = AA
