I want to find the value of the presenter if the value of the title is 'This is a title'

<AXFRoot>
    <MAObject type="default" md>
        <GUID dmname="">ID00001</GUID>
    </MAObject>
    <MVAttribute type="RUNDOWN" index="0" attribute="RUNDOWN" md objectid="ID00001">
        <Meta name="TITLE" format="string">This is a title</Meta>
        <Meta name="AIRDATE" format="string">20201001194131</Meta>
        <Meta name="PAGE_NUMBER" format="string">01</Meta>
        <Meta name="PRESENTER" format="string">abcdef</Meta>
        <Meta name="AUDIO_TIME" format="string">0</Meta>
        <Meta name="TOTAL_TIME" format="string">0</Meta>
        <Meta name="ARCHIVE" format="string">0</Meta>
        <Meta name="MOS_TITLE" format="string" />
    </MVAttribute>
    <MVAttribute type="RUNDOWN" index="1" attribute="RUNDOWN" md objectid="ID00001">
        <Meta name="TITLE" format="string">This is another title</Meta>
        <Meta name="AIRDATE" format="string">20201001194131</Meta>
        <Meta name="PAGE_NUMBER" format="string">01</Meta>
        <Meta name="PRESENTER" format="string">ghijkl</Meta>
        <Meta name="AUDIO_TIME" format="string">0</Meta>
        <Meta name="TOTAL_TIME" format="string">0</Meta>
        <Meta name="ARCHIVE" format="string">0</Meta>
        <Meta name="MOS_TITLE" format="string" />
    </MVAttribute>
</AXFRoot>

So far I got

//AXFRoot/MVAttribute[@type='RUNDOWN']/Meta[@name='TITLE' and text()='This is a title']

but this only gives me the title element, not the value of the presenter. What do I need to add?

CodePudding user response:

You were almost there:

//AXFRoot/MVAttribute[@type='RUNDOWN']
                     /Meta[@name='TITLE' and text()='This is a title']
                     /../Meta[@name='PRESENTER']

or

//AXFRoot/MVAttribute[@type='RUNDOWN']
                     [Meta[@name='TITLE' and text()='This is a title']]
                     /Meta[@name='PRESENTER']
