How do I configure to show an index based xpath in my status bar? #16

How do I configure my status bar to show an index based xpath?

That is, I see this... /Orders/Order/Job/Part/BundleNumber

... but I want this... /Orders[1]/Order[6]/Job[5]/Part[1]/BundleNumber[1]

Thanks.

Hi Josh

That's not currently supported. I should be able to implement it without much hassle, so it'll be configurable via the options page. I'll likely have time over the weekend.

Great! Thanks.

Hi Josh

This should be implemented now, let me know what you think.

jbuedel commented 7 years ago

That's perfect Uli, thanks.

Just in case you're curious my use case is that I was trying to determine if the same part number appeared in multiple orders. Now I can watch for changes in the status bar as I do a normal search through all instances of the part number.

Glad it's working! Feel free to write a review if you like ;)

I'm wondering whether the XPath Workbench could help finding duplicates.

jbuedel commented 7 years ago

I think it could, yes. If the workbench allowed the absolute path value as a (optional) column that would have worked even better.
