XPath for IDREF i have a xml node which has a "sID" attribute has data type of IDREF. and for ex. i want to find nodes which contains "tr01" in sID attribute. i'm using visual studio and c# but i couldnt write a xpath query that gives this result. (i found out "contains" method that can do this but could not use it in a xpath expression.) ex. : <book name="try1" sID="tr01 tr02 tr03"> <book name="try2" sID="tr02 tr03"> <book name="try3" sID="tr01 tr03"> i want to find try1 & try3 Started By mavilym on May 11, 2006 at 1:24:37 PM This message has been edited.

You can. Assumed you handle documents like <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <books>   <book name="try1" sID="tr01 tr02 tr03" />   <book name="try2" sID="tr02 tr03" />   <book name="try3" sID="tr01 tr03" /> </books> You could try an XPath like //books/book[contains(@sID, 'tr01') and contains(@sID, 'tr03')]
