Re: Seek an XPath 2.0 expression for checking that eac

Subject: Re: Seek an XPath 2.0 expression for checking that each object in a file system has one parent

Re:  Seek an XPath 2.0 expression for checking that eac
  count(//*[starts-with(name(), 'F')])
eq
  count(distinct-values(//*[starts-with(name(), 'F')]/name()))


This is just a first try. There could be even a shorter expression.


Cheers,
Dimitre.
