Hi,

I am trying to use xpathsnippet right now on a xml that looks something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="yes"?>
<response xmlns="http://something.de" xmlns:xsi="www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema-instance">
          <status>
                    <rc>0</rc>
                    <message/>
          </status>
</response>

For some reason my valid xpath statements like "/response/status/rc/text()" only returns empty results. I am assuming that I have to put in something for the prefix attribute of the xpathsnippet function, but I cannot figure out what.

TIA, Moritz...

Hi Moritz, the problem is the first namespace declaration. In my XML parsing functions I replace all "xmlns" strings by "xml_ns" first.

Adding substitute(pv!xml,"xmlns=","xml_ns=") to it did the trick!

Thanks!
