In XPath 2.0: (//para)[1]//text except (//system)[2]//text In 1.0, the effect ($A except $B) can be achieved (painfully) by $A[count($B) != count(.|$B)] A more efficient solution (with either version) is to recurse down the child axis a step at a time, stopping the recursion when you get to the second system element.
