I am extracting a array of items of an xml list, I want receipt node from receipt_list. But when I am doing

var receiptList = xml.XPath.select({

        

node: xmlDocument,

        

xpath: '//receipt_list'

    

});

    

var itemNode = xml.XPath.select({

        

node: receiptList[0],

        

xpath: '//receipt'

    

});

itemNode.length gives me 5 instead of 4. Getting the other one too from outside receipt list.

use the self specifier (.) in front of your xpath to make your xpath search relative to the current node
