XPath problem to be solved

J

Jean-Gael GRICOURT

Here is my xpath problem:

<AAA>
<BBB>
<CCC>Bye</CCC>
<DDD>Mr Hyde</DDD>
</BBB>
<BBB>
<CCC>Hello</CCC>
<DDD>Mr Bean</DDD>
</BBB>
</AAA>

How do I select "Mr Bean" knowing that it is in a node located next to
<CCC>Hello</CCC> node ?

I tried those xpath expressions with no success so far:

/AAA/BBB/CCC['Hello']/parent::BBB/DDD
/AAA/BBB/CCC['Hello']/following-sibling::DDD

I wish it returned "Mr Bean" instead of "Mr Hyde" ...

Any help will be much appreciated

['Hello'] doesn't test for the text content being 'Hello'.
But [. = 'Hello'] does.
