Evening Rowan,
Thank you.
Now we can get to the really hard problem ... naming things :D
I'm afraid I have no good suggestions. I can find API's that use the
suggested name, but they vary in functionality (some overlap).
There's also XmlNode.SelectSingleNode from C#, but sounds pretty horrible
to me, variations on it might be:
selectPath
singlePath
singleNode
None of them really sound right to me, but may provoke someone else to do
better.
Over to you, someone else ...
Cheers
Joe
