I want to get only the value of <value> of the first parameter under <storedProcedure> tag.

I am trying with the following XPATH, but it's not working

//PQ/storedProcedure/parameter[1]/@value

I think I am doing something wronghere while using XPATH Could you please help me on this?

Answer 1

Value is not attribute but tag, so use xpath

//PQ/storedProcedure/parameter[1]/value
