Not really, no.

So no canned support for this?

In other words, if you can't get to a specific node with an XPath expression you really need to roll your own. That's really what it is designed for.

You could do something like what you are doing, however, you probably still need your own script task to get the count of matching nodes. A quick google find this http://bgeek.net/2005/09/19/nant-xml-node-counting/

That's all I want to do, find a node and update it.

For more than a simple find a node and update it I would recommend you write you own code using the script task. Or write your own task.

Subject: [NAnt-users] xmlpeek and multiple nodes

How can I use xmlpeek/xmlpoke to recursively peruse all the similarly named nodes in a file, the the <test> node below.

<tests>
   <test>...</test>
   <test>...</test>
   <test>...</test>
</tests>

This didn't help, http://nant.sourceforge.net/release/0.85/help/tasks/xmlpeek.html

And I found this
http://old.nabble.com/xmlpeek---Multiple-nodes-found-with-the-XPath-expression-td20017190.html

Per that page, do I really have to do this, that is hard code the indices? So if I add a 16th node, I'll have to change the script to add a 16th index?
<foreach item="String" in="1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15" delim="," property="index">
   <xmlpeek file="${somefile} nodeindex="${index}" ..../>
</foreach>

So I found this http://www.mail-archive.com/nan...@li.../msg11179.html
But my nant version 0.91 complains about <xmllist> being an unknown task or data type.
