  Hi guys,

  New to Xpath. Was trying to use XML task to load some values. Using Microsoft' XML inventory mentioned below.

  How can I load values in bookstore/books where style is novel and award = 'Pulitzer' ?

  //book[[@style ='novel'] and @award [.= 'Pultizer']] is what I am trying and getting an error. Could you please explain where I am going wrong ?

  <?xml version="1.0"?>

  <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="myfile.xsl" ?>

  <bookstore specialty="novel">

  <book style="autobiography">

  <author>

  <first-name>Joe</first-name>

  <last-name>Bob</last-name>

  <award>Trenton Literary Review Honorable Mention</award>

  </author>

  </book>

  <book style="textbook">

  We can use the below condition if we want to find the first-name.

  //book[@style='novel' and ./author/award/text()='P']//first-name

  Any better answer is deeply appreciated.Thanks for viewing my question though.
