Re: [xsl] XPath discovery tool?

[Hermann Stamm-Wilbrandt <STAMMW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Charles,

a DataPower SOA appliance provides an XPath Tool that does exactly what
want.
But I think buying an appliance just for that is not what you want ... ;-)

If you are interested in a tool for the opposite direction (apply xpath)
you may want to have a look here:

(this little tool works with DataPower as well as with xsltproc)

Mit besten Gruessen / Best wishes,

I have a number of XML-formatted Excel workbooks from which I wish to
extract data. While the procedure for determining the XPath to any
particular cell's value is not difficult, it is tedious. Does anyone know
of a tool into which I could load the XML file, select an element, and
automatically display the XPath to that element?
