I'm trying to write an XPath that will select certain nodes that contain a specific word. In this case the word is, "Lockwood". The correct answer is 3. Both of these paths give me 3.
count(//*[contains(./*,'Lockwood')])
count(BusinessLetter/*[contains(../*,'Lockwood')])
But when I try to output the text of each specific node
//*[contains(./*,'Lockwood')][1]
//*[contains(./*,'Lockwood')][2]
//*[contains(./*,'Lockwood')][3]
Node 1 ends up containing all the text and nodes 2 and 3 are blank.
Can some one please tell me what's happening or what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks.
