I have an XML
<root xmlns:foo="http://www.eample.com/" xmlns:bar="http://www.example.com">
<actors>
<actor id="1">Christian Bale</actor>
<actor id="2">Liam Neeson</actor>
<actor id="3">Michael Caine</actor>
</actors>
<foo:singers>
<foo:singer id="4">Tom Waits</foo:singer>
<foo:singer id="5">B.B. King</foo:singer>
<foo:singer id="6">Ray Charles</foo:singer>
</foo:singers>
</root>
I want to get the attribute id value from the XPath based on the element value.
Example:
For the above XML how to get the id value for the actor "Christian Bale"?
I have tried
/root/actors[actor='Christian Bale']/@id
It is giving nothing as the output.
