How to find element by attribute value in GPath?

Question

What is an alternative to this XPath //div[@id='foo'] in GPath? In general, where I can find this documentation?

Answer 1

Here is the corresponding snippet:

def node = new XmlSlurper().parseText(...) def foo = node.depthFirst().findAll { it.name() == 'div' && it.@id == 'foo'} 

A few other links you may want to read:

• GPath documentation
• Processing XML with Groovy

Answer 2

The previous poster gave you all that's required: Assuming your document has been slurped into xml, you want

def foo = xml.path.to.div.find{it.@id == 'foo'} 

to find a single result. Or findAll to find all results.
