How to use xpath axes in power automate?

Hi Community

I am retriving an XML file through an API.

In my scenario I am searching elements by attribute and I would like to get all ancestors

e.g. node of interest xpath (//p[@class="indent-1"])[1]

 

Can't figure out why the following xpath does not retrieve anything (//p[@class="indent-1"])[1]/ancestor::*

 

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Just for completeness. These should get part, subpart, section.

 

//part
(//p[@class="indent-1"])[1]/ancestor::*[4]

//subpart
(//p[@class="indent-1"])[1]/ancestor::*[3]

//section
(//p[@class="indent-1"])[1]/ancestor::*[2]

Are you able to post some of your XML (just enough to do some testing).

 

Ideally, if you could provide the XML (assuming HTML based on your question), and what you expect to select after the expression runs.

 

XPath in Power Automate is quite limited at the moment with only spec 1.0 being supported. I spoke to an engineer in Microsoft earlier today to check on roadmap for more support - hopefully they come back with some good news 🙂

@grantjenkins Hi Grant, please find below a code example for testing. The original is a HTML file, I just wrapped a root element around it. The logic is @part/@subpart@/@section/*

I am trying to search for paragraphs p[@class="indent-1"] and to retrieve the section and subpart they belong to using the ancestor axes. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Sandra

The HTML you provided was missing a closing </div> at the end (just before the closing </PART820>. Not sure if that was just from you missing it when outputting for me or missing in your HTML.

 

Using your expression works fine for me.

//retrieves all ancestors (effectively everything)
(//p[@class="indent-1"])[1]/ancestor::*

//retrieves direct ancestors
(//p[@class="indent-1"])[1]/ancestor::*[1]

//retrieves ancestors two levels up
(//p[@class="indent-1"])[1]/ancestor::*[2]

 

Let me know if this doesn't work for you - can then troubleshoot further.

 

Full flow below.

grantjenkins_2-1675256215388.png

 

HTML (Compose) contains your HTML data.

grantjenkins_3-1675256242127.png

 

XPath (Compose) uses the following expression:

//Returns the direct ancestor
xpath(xml(outputs('HTML')), '(//p[@class="indent-1"])[1]/ancestor::*[1]')

grantjenkins_4-1675256332219.png

 

HTML Ancestor (Compose) uses the following expression to get the first item from XPath and convert it back to xml.

xml(first(outputs('XPath')))
