 Hello,
I tried to select for special characters with XPATH below.
While I succeeded for some I am unable to select for the
' character (') and got an error message.
Any hint how this can be done?
$ xmlsh
$ cat tst.html
<html><body>
<p>lt and gt: < > </p>
<p>apos and quot: ' " </p>
</body></html>
$ tidy -q -xml tst.html;
<html>
<body>
<p>lt and gt: < ></p>
<p>apos and quot: ' "</p>
</body>
</html>
$ xpath "/*/*/*[contains(normalize-space(.),'<')]" <tst.html
<p>lt and gt: < > </p>
$ xpath "/*/*/*[contains(normalize-space(.),'>')]" <tst.html
<p>lt and gt: < > </p>
$ xpath "/*/*/*[contains(normalize-space(.),'\"')]" <tst.html
<p>apos and quot: ' " </p>
$ xpath "/*/*/*[contains(normalize-space(.),'\'')]" <tst.html
Exception running: xpath
net.sf.saxon.s9api.SaxonApiException: XPath syntax error at char 34 in
