Hello everyone,

I have the following XML file:

<INSTRUMENT_DATA>

<INSTRUMENT TYPE="Balance" DATA_SOURCE="" PARSE_TYPE=""/>

<INSTRUMENT TYPE="HPLC" DATA_SOURCE="" PARSE_TYPE="XML Parsing"/>

<INSTRUMENT TYPE="Empower" DATA_SOURCE="Adapter" PARSE_TYPE="XML Parsing"/>

</INSTRUMENT_DATA>

I want to write an X-Path query to select the TYPE Attribute on all <INSTRUMENT> nodes that have a PARSE_TYPE attribute with value which is NOT "XML Parsing".

So far I have tried this:

/PROVIDER_DATA/INSTRUMENT_DATA/INSTRUMENT/@TYPE[@PARSE_TYPE!='XML Parsing']

I haven't tested it yet (b/c I have to write the code that uses this function)

but I havea feeling that something is missing.

Can anyone tell me if the above line of XPath will do the trick?

Thanks

Susan
