Re: [Vtd-xml-users] Xpath expression does not work as intended

[Favaro A. <and...@in...>]

I think that it will be more clear with an example: 


This is my starting XML: 


<root> 
<tag1></tag1> 
<tag2></tag2> 
<tag3></tag3> 
<tag4></tag4> 
<tag5></tag5> 
</root> 


After removing some tags: 



<root> 
<tag1></tag1> 




<tag4></tag4> 
<tag5></tag5> 
</root> 


I need to remove these empty rows between <tag1> and <tag4>. 


Thanks, 
Andrea

by empty row are you referring to empty elements with white space text elements?

Hi guys, 
I've a problem using VTD-XML with this XPath expression: //text()[normalize-space(.)=''] 
If I try to select and evaluate this expression on a document with several empty rows between tags the AutoPilot returns no result. 
If I try the expression with a XML tool like Oxygen on the same document I have the correct answer. 



The general problem is that I need to delete the empty rows left after removing some tags. 


Any idea? 


Thanks, 
Andrea
