Indexing XML Nodes in Query String

Question

See more:

I was wondering if there is a way to index nodes inside the query string you use to get the path to the node you want as I need to get an attribute of a specific node but can't work out how to do this.

All the nodes are the same but I want to get the 5th one.

C#

if (DataDoc.SelectNodes("/SiteRep/DV/Location/Period/Rep/@T")[6] != null)

index^
I want to get the 5th Rep node but they are all begin with Rep so how can I index them inside the string. Thank you

You're close, just put the index in the path:

C#

if (DataDoc.SelectNodes("/SiteRep/DV/Location/Period/Rep[5]/@T") != null)

Does this work with attributes in the same way?

well, no, because if your attribute names are duplicated inside a tag, you have invalid XML.
