How to create Conditional Xpath statement?

I want to select xml node with conditional Xpath like-

xmlnode.SelectSingleNode("if (ns:substanceAdministration/ns:consumable/@typeCode == UNK) then evaluateThisXpath else evaluateOtherXpath")

my concern is-

<drugID code="UNK">
    <sub code="2232" />
</drugID>

If @code of parent node is UNK then only it should take @code value of child node otherwise take parent @code value.

Solution

  • This should do the trick:

    (drugID[@code='UNK']/sub)|(drugID[@code<>'UNK')

    It is Xpath pseudocode, change it to your library language
