JSL > XPATH detailed docmentation

Hi JMP Community,

I want to expand my knowledge about the Xpath function. I have been able to find partial information in the online Help and the Discussion Forum, but I still lack a complete understanding of the syntax to point to specific elements in JMP reports. 

Of note, I found this helpful post from 2015: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discovery-Summit-2015/JMP-Discovery-2015-Mining-JMP-Reports-v10-pdf/ta-p/22595?attachment-id=752

But, it lacks the step-by-step explanation of the Xpath syntax. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate finding additional resources to learn.

Thanks.

Hello @Thierry_S,

 

Like regular expressions (regex), XPath is not specific to JMP or JSL. There is a lot of documentation out there about how to use XPath in any language, try using web searches that do not include JMP.  I am guessing JMP didn't spend a lot of time documenting either function because there is already so much available on other sites.  The link below might be a good place to start.
