XPATH help

Hello

I am very new to Xpath. I just installed Xindice 1.0 
on WinXP, and added the following to a collection 
under /db called qt

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<product product_id="120320">
   <description>Glazed Ham</description>
</product>

Then I  used 
xindice xpath_query -c /db/data/products -q
'/product[@product_id="120320"]'

to query it.

I heard a beep and see the DEBUG sign in Xindice running window.

(I can start Xindice and I have no idea how to make it run in the
backgroud. 
help needs on this too).

Thanks much

ZT

The collection you query does not match the collection you added the XML
file to.
xindice xpath_query -c /db/qt -q '/product[@product_id="120320"]'

Try:

xindice xpath_query -c /db/data/products -q
"/product[@product_id='120320']"

Reverse the quotes.   On Windows you need double quotes so that windows
will
parse it correctly.

HTH,
