my @xpaths = qw{
/html/body/p/a
/html/body/p[2]/a
/html/body/p[3]/a
....
/html/body/p[66]/a
};
my $allXpaths = join ' | ', @xpaths;
my @values = $tree->findvalues;
I don't know about other xpath interpreters, but treebuilder::xpath (and xsh ) allows this
This query is probably faster
/html/body/p[
position()=1
or position()=2
or position()=3
or position()=66
]/a
Or this one /html/body/p[
(
(
position() > 0
and position() < 4
)
or
(
position()=66
)
)
]/a
Though this one won't work with your html //a[ position()=4] because each //a is at //a[ position() = 1] because each //a is the only (first) child of its parent ( p ) --- I guess now I know how position() works |
