How to join two extracted values with xidel?

Question

I use the following to extract two values using xidel -e .

• '//input[@name="qid"]/@value[1]'
• "//span[@id='trueFinalResultCount']"

But I'd like to put the two results into a TSV format.

result1<TAB>result2

Could anybody show me how to combine the above two expressions? (I tried the following. But it doesn't work.)

'join((//input[@name="qid"]/@value[1], //span[@id='trueFinalResultCount'][1]), x:cps(9))'

Answer 1

string-join( ($x, $y), ' ') and replace ' ' with "tab-key pressed here"

example: xidel URL --xpath 'string-join((somepath1, somepath2)," ")'

it results into TSV
