Hello David,
Partialy right. :-)
I do not want just text().
For instance: See the next example: Pattern: /ROOT[@pattern='test'] Match: //NODE/ELEMENT Value: text()
PATTERN button Now.. The user can click op ExecutePattern and the file will look like this:
(Gray means --- Outside the pattern. Green means --- Inside the pattern) <?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROOT pattern="test"> <ELEMENT>Element 1</ELEMENT> <NODE> <ELEMENT>Element 1</ELEMENT> <ELEMENT>Element 2</ELEMENT> </NODE> <NODE> <ELEMENT>Element 1</ELEMENT> <ELEMENT>Element 2</ELEMENT> </NODE> </ROOT> Works fine. :-)
MATCH Button The user can click on ExcuteMatch: And the file SHOULD change to:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROOT pattern="test"> <ELEMENT>Element 1</ELEMENT> <NODE> <ELEMENT>Element 1</ELEMENT> <ELEMENT>Element 2</ELEMENT> </NODE> <NODE> <ELEMENT>Element 1</ELEMENT> <ELEMENT>Element 2</ELEMENT> </NODE> </ROOT> However. Sadly it looks like: <?xml version="1.0"?> <ROOT pattern="test"> <ELEMENT>Element 1</ELEMENT> <NODE> <ELEMENT>Element 1</ELEMENT> <ELEMENT>Element 2</ELEMENT> </NODE> <NODE> <ELEMENT>Element 1</ELEMENT> <ELEMENT>Element 2</ELEMENT> </NODE> </ROOT> Due to the wrong search item, the first ELEMENT is allso colored blue. VALUE Button
And the user can click on ExecuteValue.
The file should change to: <?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROOT pattern="test"> <ELEMENT>Element 1</ELEMENT> <NODE> <ELEMENT>Element 1</ELEMENT> <ELEMENT>Element 2</ELEMENT> </NODE> <NODE> <ELEMENT>Element 1</ELEMENT> <ELEMENT>Element 2</ELEMENT> </NODE> </ROOT> The Result window should show: Element 1 Element 2 Element 1 Element 2 And again... The file looks wrongly, due to the incorrect search statement, like: <?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROOT pattern="test"> <ELEMENT>Element 1</ELEMENT> <NODE> <ELEMENT>Element 1</ELEMENT> <ELEMENT>Element 2</ELEMENT> </NODE> <NODE> <ELEMENT>Element 1</ELEMENT> <ELEMENT>Element 2</ELEMENT> </NODE> </ROOT> The result window shows the correct data, so the xpath statement works correct. It's just the highlighting that gives me headeggs. Just for the record..... Change the data on line 2 to <ELEMENT>Element 0</ELEMENT> and all works fine offcause! I have to know WHERE the selected data starts.
In this case, the data to highlight starts on line 5 and 6 and 9 and 10. Not on line 2. And I THINK I can do that by knowing wich data NOT so highlight.
But maybe, there is an other way. So.... If there is an other way to determin the position, than would that be great to. If a combination xpath/xslt gives me a solution, than please.....gimme.... :-) If it means, I have to learn to knit and origamy. Fine by me. I need a solution. :-) The only way I see now, is for me to write my own xpath/xslt parser. And that would absolutely not bee my first choise. Friendly greetings
