在 XML 中查找和删除节点，使用 libxml2 和 xpath

Question

I have a big XML file which has multiple nodes like below;

<my_section enum="ORANGE" name="blah"> </my_section> <my_section enum="APPLE" name="blah blah" > </my_section>

etc..

I need to look for a specific 'enum' type like APPLE and delete that my_section node for APPLE.

I tried using Xpath, but i am not sure what should be the eval string here. If I just give my_section, then all the sections will come. I need to match on the enum though. Please help.

Answer 1

<a>
    <my_section enum="ORANGE" name="blah"> </my_section> 
    <my_section enum="APPLE" name="blah blah"> </my_section>
    <my_section enum="ORANGE1" name="blah1"> </my_section> 
</a>

Using XPATH, you may be able filter out the nodes needed. I have added a root element just to test. Change as needed.

/a/my_section except /a/my_section[@enum = "APPLE"]
