Question:
I would like how to use the "not" in XPath properly. I just can't seem to get it to work with attributes.
Say I have this expression: //*[@name = 'Bob'] It is valid, and will return all nodes that have a name attribute equaling 'Bob'.
Now if I want all nodes that have a name attribute that do not equal 'Bob', I need to use an XPath such as: //*[@name not(='Bob')] but this is invalid.
I have tried multiple combinations with not() being placed in a different order, but I can't seem to get this to work. Could someone please inform me how to use not() properly?
Also, does the order change when using elements instead of attributes? Such as: //name[text() = 'Bob']
Thanks! :)
Solution:1
According to : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms256086.aspx, have you tried
//*[@name != 'Bob']
Solution:2
//*[@name and @name != 'Bob']
Solution:3
Try
//*[@name != 'Bob'] or
//*[not(@name = 'Bob')] should work both.
