Re^2: how to change node value based on other node value

wow Anonymous Monk, that is cool. But whaddaya mean I can't just make up my own syntax??? Seriously tho, I want to know how this works so I can learn and stop asking newbie questions (been at perl a few years now, xml about a week). So I see #posy and that looks like an xpath and returns (using findnode) an indexed channel (but I don't see how that guarantees it is the channel i want based on name, not index value) and star and rats throw me. I tried all reasonable variations as xpaths and get nothing but errors (invalid expression) or empty results. I see using the //tagname option limits the output to the bits I am interested in but still am not sure what to make of it. Any help or pointers to help is much appreciated. ~Chris

um, as a path you wrote `'/Settings/Channels/Channel/Name="L1"'` xpather shows what you should have written `/Settings[1] /Channels[1] /*[ name() = "Channel" and @Name = "L1"]` [download] or `findnodes( q{ //Channel[ @Name = "L1" and @Voltage = "400" ] } )`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
