Subject: [xquery-talk] Selecting Descendants



Hi folks 

I'm seeking a way to select only those descandants in a tree which fit a
criterion but not their descandants (even if those fit the critirion as
well).

I know, you can select with //node-name, but that will give back children of
node-name with name node-name as well and i don't want them (got it?)

I have a tree like this 

<A> 
        <B name="b1"> 
                <B name="b2"> 
                </B> 
        </B> 
        <B name="b3"> 
        </B> 
        <B name="b4"> 
        </B> 
        <A> 
                <B name="b5"> 
                        <B name="b6"> 
                        </B> 
                </B> 
        </A> 
</A> 

And i want to select b1, b3, b4, b5 (but not b2 and b6, because their
parents (or one of there ancestors) is already selected).

Any hints? 

Kind Regards 
  Peter
