Re: search for aligned elements

Thank you for your reply.
I could easily start using anything that you suggest. Or perhaps there
is a better forum for dealing with my question.

I have been traversing the xml document from within Matlab using the
XMLtree toolbox which deals with XML 1.0 files. I can type in directly
xpath strings compliant with:

Grammar for addressing parts of an XML document:
        XML Path Language XPath (http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath)
 Example: /element1//element2[1]/element3[5]/element4

But I thought there might be some advantages in using XML 'native'
methods, outside of Matlab (like Saxon), hence my question.

There is a big difference in the answer to your question depending on what
XSL/XPath Version you are using.

Quoting from the list guidlines ... since I just joined the list myself and
read them :-)

IN YOUR POSTING ...

Name the XSL processor, processor version, and version of the language you
are using. This information is frequently necessary to diagnose a problem
exactly, and always helps respondents give good advice.
