Searching for nodes with a wildcard in a XPath query
Hi,
I'm new to JCR and need some help to build an XPath query that would return
all nodes placed on a specific path.
Basically I need to find nodes on a path like /jcr:root/data/people/?/?/*
where ? represents a single character?
Is is possible to create a query like that?
Thanx for any suggestions.
K.

Becuse nodes matching this /jcr:root/data/people/?/?/*pattern (ex
/jcr:root/data/people/a/a/atkinson)
are considered wrongly placed in the tree. My task is to select them all and
put in the correct place. Anyway I managed to work around this.
Thanx for your replies anyway :)

If all the intermediate paths, the ones with ?, have one letter only,
why not /jcr:root/data/people/*/*/* then?

Not that I know of...perhaps someone else, but I don't think it can be
done (apart from guaranteed poor performance if you could)
