I want to extract name attribute value from the following tag

<application
    comments="Do not erase this one"
    executable="run_CIET"
    icon="default"
    instances="1"
    mode="1"
    name="CIET"
    order="10"
    selection="1"
    tool="y"
/>

I can easily get value of name attribute value based on mode value as shown below

xpath Applications.xml '//applications/application[@mode='3']'/@name

But if I want to add more condtion which is "get name attribute value when mode=X and tool attribute is not there in application tag"

How do we do this? I tried something like 

xpath Applications.xml '//applications/application[@mode='3' and !@tool]'/@name

but its not working.

I have not used XPath before and I am finding it tricky I search W3C help on XPath but did not find what I wanted. Please help.
