Re: Selecting the first node set

Both return
/Trade[1]/UnknownName1[1]/Value[1]/enum[1] - A
/Trade[1]/UnknownName1[1]/Value[1]/enum[2] - B
/Trade[1]/UnknownName1[1]/Value[1]/enum[3] - C

Given the following simplified XML instance, can anyone suggest an expression that will return ONLY the 'Value' node containing <enum> children with values A, B and C. I can't rely on the name of the parent node of <Value> hence I have deliberately named these as UnknownNameX or any other intervening structure.

<Trade>
    <UnknownName1>
        <Value>
            <enum>A</enum>
            <enum>B</enum>
            <enum>C</enum>
        </Value>
    </UnknownName1>
    <UnknownName2>
        <Value>/Trade//Value[ancestor::Trade]</Value>
    </UnknownName2>
    <Treatment>
        <UnknownName3>
            <Value>
                <enum>D</enum>
                <enum>E</enum>
                <enum>F</enum>
            </Value>
        </UnknownName3>
    </Treatment>
</Trade>

/Trade//Value        - returns all 3 <Value> nodes
/Trade//Value[1]    - also returns all 3 <Value> nodes (why is that ?)
/Trade//Value[2]    - returns nothing (why is that ?)
