david, abel :)) Note that I tried to correct David with removing the '+1' with a self-test. But that's not needed. David's last solution is perfect and comes down to about the same I invented (it almost looked like David and I were in the same room: even the sample input and test template about matched!), but mine is a bit overly complicated. (the reason that you can use +1 safely is that you are already walking from the path CELL[@test='yes'], which means that once the path matches, you are certain the +1 is correct) About the 'magic', I usually do a mind-treewalk while dissecting a path. I imaging being some place on the XML tree and then walk the steps I wrote down in the XPath. Then suddenly the 'magic' goes and it all seems so logical. Cheers, -- Abel
