    Getting nth element from secondary data source

    Reply Contact

     Hi,

    I have a secondary data source returning some unique IDs. I want to get nth value from this datasource and show it in a text box.

    Is this possible without writing code. Is there a way to get this by using Xpath.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    We can get the nth position of element from repeating node using XPath. As below,

    xdXDocument:GetDOM(“Secondary DOM Name")/my:RootNode/my:NodeName/my:RepeatingNodeName[<position of the node>]

    Hi,

    Use the following Xpath to get nth value.

    xdXDocument:GetDOM("SecondaryDataSource")/Vehicles/Year[n]/@value

    In this example Year is repeating group and value is the attribute.

    Hi,If the form is a browser form, [n] does not work. Use the following xpath as default value for a text box to get the nth element in a browser form.xdXDocument:GetDOM(“Secondary DOM Name")/RootNode/NodeName/RepeatingNodeName[count(preceding-sibling::RepeatingNodeName) = (n-1)]/fieldNodeExample: xdXDocument:GetDOM("Emp")/Employees/Emp[count(preceding-sibling::Emp) = (n-1)]/EmpID
