There have been a few threads on this and i can get this to work if it were not for the " ' " characters i need to preserve, i can't substitute in this xpath for the life of me;
(mapped/Tabular/PORT_THROUGHPUT_SUMMARY/table/row[Port='23']/BitRate_Rx)[1]
where 23 is the value i want to substitute. I've tried several things including this
(mapped/Tabular/PORT_THROUGHPUT_SUMMARY/table/row[Port=\'${aggPort1}\']/BitRate_Tx)[2]
with no luck. Any suggestion appreciated.
Not sure what's going wrong for you, or what you're trying to do. Are you trying to substitute one query into another? Or is this a variable, and you're trying this in a test case?
It looks like you have the little "F" off (that's the gray box on the left), so that it doesn't interpret the square brackets as functions. But this also makes it not substitute variables. So you have to click on the gray box, so that it becomes an "f", and then escape your square brackets, too:
(mapped/Tabular/PORT_THROUGHPUT_SUMMARY/table/row\[Port=\'${aggPort1}\'\]/BitRate_Tx)\[2\]
But I'm kinda just guessing based on the information given.
