Below is the sample XML fragment, from it i'm trying to filter out id's of articles matching both conditions as below. Currently i could extract id's for individual condition with help of expression below

  1. get Avaialable articles, Xpath2 expression = (//*//*//*//*[starts-with(state,'Avaialable')])/id
  2. get articles name starting with 'A' () , Xpath2 expression = (//*//*//*//*[starts-with(name,'A')])/id

I want to merge these conditions in a single expression and would like to

fetch id's of Articles where Name starts with 'A' AND articles which are Available

. Tried multiple ways but not working as expected.

Dummy XML fragment:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ns3:GetArtclesResponse
    xmlns:ns2="XXX"
    xmlns:ns4="XXX"
    xmlns:ns3="XXX"

    xmlns:ns5="XXX"
    xmlns:ns8="XXX"
    xmlns:ns7="XXX"
    xmlns:ns13="XXX"
    xmlns:ns9="XXX"
    xmlns:ns12="XXX"
    xmlns:ns11="XXX">
    <serverTimeInfo timezone="+00:00" timestamp="1606409365419"/>
    <items>
        <count>2</count>
        <articles>
           <article>
                <name>ABC</name>
                <id>1234</id>
                <state>Avaialable</state>
            </article>
            <article>
                <name>XYZ</name>
                <id>3456</id>
                <state>Avaialable_Conditional</state>
            </article>
        </articles>
    </items>
</ns3:GetArtclesResponse>

You can use and to check both:

(//*//*//*//*[starts-with(state,'Avaialable') and starts-with(name,'A')])/id

  1. If you want to combine 2 different XPath expressions you can use | (union) operator like:

     //article[state = 'Avaialable']  |  //article[starts-with(name,'A')]

    it will return you both:

    • nodes which have state=Available
    • and nodes which name starts with A

  2. If you want to combine 2 conditions in a single XPath expression - go for and operator like:

    //article[state = 'Avaialable' and starts-with(name,'A')]

    it will return

    • nodes which nave state=available and whose name attribute starts with a
