Output full result string from xpath query

Jimbo2112 · Jul 31, 2008

Hi All,

I am using XML Spy on PC and I have a manipulation issue. I have a requirement to output more than I currently get from the xpath query below:

//illustration/image[@src=""]

from this XML:

<illustration id="CHOWIN104STYPRO_002">
<image src=""/>
<caption>
<head>Stainless steel for a light touch</head>
<p>Like many light, crisp whites, wines that are aromatic and juicy are vinified at low temperatures to bring out their fruitiness, usually in stainless steel vats to maintain the wine’s freshness.</p>
</caption>
</illustration>

the result will be:

<image src=""/>

What I want is to get:

<illustration id="CHOWIN104STYPRO_002"><image src=""/>

What is the xpath query that will give me this result, or am I hamstrung with XML Spy functionality?

Cheers

Jimbo

In terms of xsl, it is something like this.
[tt]
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="//illustration[red][image/@src=''][/red]" mode="special"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="illustration" mode="special">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*" />
<xsl:copy-of select="image" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*">
<xsl:copy-of select="." />
</xsl:template>
[/tt]
As to in xmlspy ide, you've to adapt to it.
