hi, prehaps is the way i wrote the xpath, but i was wondering why will it not work when i tried to use the wildcard(*) in this particular predicate: parent[child/grandchild=*]

The other post explained why the first worked and the second did not. My post is to ask what you're trying to accomplish using the =* at all? If you are trying to select all parent nodes that have a child/grandchild subtree, simply say parent[child/grandchild]

The equals sign, I believe, is going to initiate a string() call on the grandchild node. Is that what you want? If I were to read this as a conventional programming language (java, Perl, etc), it looks like you're saying that the grandchild can be equal to any string. Well, that's already taken care of in the predicate above.
