Hi,
I have this set of elements stored in a variable say colList.
Now I would like to do some summing operation for which I need to access some elements of the above list.
For example, I may have to sum up all the values for elements whose position is less than 3.
so, I would write something like this.
sum($colList/col[position()<3])
But, i am getting an error saying that attribute value may not contain '<'.It works fine for '>'. Does it mean I cant select elements which are below some position value??
From the XPath specs,I found this
child: ara[position()>1] selects all the para children of the context node other than the first para child of the context node
But is there no way to do something like this:
child: ara[position()<5] selects all the para children of the context node from position 1 to 4e Or maybe I am missing something here!!
Regards,
Shankar.
