Finding elements with XPath in Delphi

Question

I am trying to find an element in an XML document in Delphi. I have this code, but it always says 0 elements in the log:

function TForm1.KannaSidu: Boolean;

If you're just trying to load a plain html file as xml, it would probably have multiple reasons to fail and choke on things like:

You have to test that it actually loads correctly before doing anything else:

  if not Doc.load(filename) then
    raise Exception.Create('XML Loading error:' + Trim(Doc.parseError.reason));

It will give you the specific reason for the failure like this one:

XML Loading error:End tag 'head' does not match the start tag 'link'.
