Q: howto filter on node content?

Hi,

I played around with ApplyXPath and filtering on attributes works really
fine. 
What I am trying to do now is selecting nodes according to their content.
For example the following xml:

	<?xml version="1.0"?>
	<doc>
	  <foo>blub</foo>
	  <foo>bar</foo>
	</doc>

I tried all variations of 
	java ApplyXPath foo.xml "/doc[foo='bar']"
which returns all foo elements, instead of just the second.

Can anyone help, please?

Thanks, Heike

Well I havn't tried this myself but i think:

java ApplyXPath foo.xml "/doc/foo[text()='bar']"

should do the trick.
