Simple xpath question

[Zhiv Kurilka]

Dear all,
supposed I have xml file
<a>
<b>
<name>ggg</name>
<c>10</c>
<name>ddd</name>
</b>

<b>
<name>zzz</name>
<c>10</c>
<name>yyyy</name>
</b>
<b>
<name>zzz</name>
<c>12</c>
<name>xxxxx</name>
</b>

</a>
Lets say I need to select all nodes where c=10 and print a path of names
dim my_list as xmlnodelist =myRootNode.Sel ectNodes("//a/b[c='10']")
Now I need to print a path of nodes name. The result should be:
---------------------
ggg/ddd
zzz/yyy
--------------------
Please help me. How can I do that? I have no idea how to get this info from
my_list

Re: Simple xpath question

Something like (C# - and I've been lazy using string concatenation):

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(xml );
foreach (XmlElement el in doc.SelectNodes ("/root/a/b[c='10']"))
{
string name = el.SelectSingle Node("name").In nerText, path = "";
foreach (XmlElement pathEl in
el.SelectNodes( "ancestor-or-self::*/name"))
{
path += "/" + pathEl.InnerTex t;
}
Debug.WriteLine (name + ": " + path);
}
