Bob ChauvinSubject: Need help with SelectsingleNode XPath to find a node that ends with a particular string.

The following full path finds the node of interest, but everything up to the 'editWith' name is subject to change.

/*[local-name()='xDocumentClass' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/solutionDefinition']/*[local-name()='views' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/solutionDefinition'][1]/*[local-name()='view' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/solutionDefinition'][1]/*[local-name()='editing' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/solutionDefinition'][1]/*[local-name()='xmlToEdit' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/solutionDefinition'][1]/*[local-name()='editWith' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/solutionDefinition'][1]/*[local-name()='fragmentToInsert' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/solutionDefinition'][1]/*[local-name()='chooseFragment' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/solutionDefinition'][1]/User[1]/Secretary[1]/AttySecPairing[1]

Is there a way to find the node based on it ending with the following?
/*[local-name()='editWith' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/solutionDefinition'][1]/*[local-name()='fragmentToInsert' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/solutionDefinition'][1]/*[local-name()='chooseFragment' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/solutionDefinition'][1]/User[1]/Secretary[1]/AttySecPairing[1]

I found that removing the absolute node references (ie [1]) for the first few segments of the path allows the path to be resolved as desired.

Here is the new path...

/*[local-name()='xDocumentClass' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/solutionDefinition']/*[local-name()='views' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/solutionDefinition']/*[local-name()='view' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/solutionDefinition']/*[local-name()='editing' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/solutionDefinition']/*[local-name()='xmlToEdit' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/solutionDefinition'][1]/*[local-name()='editWith' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/solutionDefinition'][1]/*[local-name()='fragmentToInsert' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/solutionDefinition'][1]/*[local-name()='chooseFragment' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/solutionDefinition'][1]/User[1]/Secretary[1]/AttySecPairing[1]

In XPath 1.0 instead of local-name()='editWith'

use

substring(local-name(), string-length(local-name()) - 8) = 'editWith'

In XPath 2.0

ends-with(local-name(), 'editWith')

Ivan, If there are multiple paths with the editWith name wouldn't I need to provide more of the path (for example the last three nodes) to get the specific item I want?

Bob,

Could you post a sample of the XML and show what you would like to select?
