After a lot of searching, from a bigger xml I managed to extract this smaller bit using this code:
xml = $D[device].page_source
doc = Nokogiri::XML(xml)
res = doc.xpath('//*[@name="checkmark"]').first.parent
My goal is to find out what word is preceding the checkmark. I can see in xml that it is the word Default but I am not able to establish this in code. I use Ruby.
Could you help me?
Here is the XPath expression to select the last element that has the attribute "name" just before the element with attribute "name"="checkmark"
//*[@name="checkmark"][1]/preceding::*[@name][1]
You can try it here
What is does is, selects the first element with name=checkmark (just to avoid cases where there are more than one), and then selects its preceding nodes that have name and gets the first (preceding list goes in reverse order)
