Hello all, I have the following XML document: <xml> <AAA>foo</AAA> <BBB>bar</BBB> <CCC> <DDD attrib="123">quick</DDD> <DDD attrib="456">brown</DDD> <DDD attrib="789">fox</DDD> <DDD attrib="123">jumped</DDD> <DDD attrib="456">lazy</DDD> <DDD attrib="789">dog</DDD> </CCC> </xml> If I run the following XPath query it returns the count of all nodes in CCC that have an attrib value of "123": xml/CCC/DDD[@attrib='123'] = 2 What I am trying to do now is retrieve a particular node based on the position in the CCC node and its attribute, something like this: xml/CCC/DDD[@attrib='123'][1] = quick xml/CCC/DDD[@attrib='456'][1] = brown xml/CCC/DDD[@attrib='456'][2] = lazy This is based on information I found here: http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/xpath_location.asp Unfortunately this does work, can anybody tell me where I am going wrong Thanks Manuel
