Thanks, Eliot. Unfortunately none of your suggestions work. I get *Warning*: SimpleXMLElement::xpath(): Invalid expression bool(false) As I said in my previous email, the expression below seems to work, following Michael's tip: $xliff->xpath('//target[parent::trans-unit[@id="xxx"]]')[0]->__toString() However, I'm curious about (and not familiar with) the *: Could you explain what it means? Thanks.
