Nested find/$ not working

[stevenvachon]

xamel.parse('<data>Answer: %s<number>42</number></data>', function(err, xml) {
    if (!err) {
        console.log( xml.find('data/number/text()') );  // works
        console.log( xml.$('data/number/text()') ); // works

        console.log( xml.find('data').find('number/text()') );  // fails
        console.log( xml.$('data').$('number/text()') );    // fails
    }
});

It's ok ;)

xml.$('data') // => NodeSet[ <data> ]
xml.$('data/*') // => NodeSet[ ..children of the <data> ..]
xml.$('data/*').$('number/text()') // done

NodeSet.$/find start walking from current NodeSet members, not childs, and produce NodeSet of the found nodes.

to get data tag, not the NodeSet of the data tag:

xml.$('data').eq(0).$('number/text()') // same as $('data/*').$('number/text()')

Finally, remember: NodeSet#find always return a NodeSet.
