Element Path/Edit XML file

Postby tpritchett » Tue Jul 19, 2011 8:06 am

Element Path
Type the path to the element, including the root element. Start with the root element, and separate each following child element using the \ character


Is there any plans to support Xpath type notations in the 'Element Path' for edit XML file

for instance like:

root\parent\child[@myattr="somevalue"]

That would be a very nice addition! I'm a big fan of Xpath. I suppose that as XML made it's appearance in version 11 for the first time small steps are perhaps better than none. :D

Dear PaavoN,

unfortunately there isn't any update about this specific matter.

However the most recent version of IA include the "Evaluate XPath Query" command, which was not available at the time this thread was started.
