Re: Selecting an Attribute Based on Conditions of a Su

Cheers,
Wendell

I am trying to select an attribute from a list of nodes that is conditional based on the contents of a node below it.

Here is the sample XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Account>
        <NodeName Name="Acme">
                <NodeType Value="Primary"/>
        </NodeName>
        <NodeName Name="Widget">
                <NodeType Value="Secondary"/>
        </NodeName>
</Account>

What I want is to select @Name from NodeName based on the @Value attribute in the NodeType element. In other words, I want to determine which @Name attribute is Primary and which one is Secondary. This XML is generated out of a database so its format is not very good and not always sorted. This prevents me from doing this based strictly on position.
