I would like to combine the xml path search of two different levels. An example, the xml can be either case #1: <main> <a> <b><c/></b> <b><c/></b> </a> </main> or case #2: <main> <b><c/></b> <b><c/></b> </main>

Now I want to process the <c> elements from the <main> level and loop through them with the position function: \xmlfilter{#1}{/(a/b|b)/name/position(\the\scratchcounter)}

does \xmlfilter{#1}{/(a|)/b/name/position(\the\scratchcounter)} work?

This however does not work, I tried various path expressions, for example with * but to no avail.

Is there a path expression that can select either /a/b or /b ?
