Can anyone share an example of using regular expressions within an xpath
predicate? I'm wanting to parse a structure and pick out any elements
that have a non-numeric name. Example:
<security>
<policies>
<policy>
<name>randy</name>
...
</policy>
<policy>
<name>1</name>
...
</policy>
<policy>
<name>policy 101</name>
...
</policy>
<policy>
<name>3</name>
...
</policy>
I'm trying to figure out what xpath expression would identify the
policies with alpha characters... Something like:
not(/security/policies/policy[name=[0-9]*])
Thanks,
Randy
