XPath expression to select nodes which don't have specific attribute
I have an XML document with the following structure:
<brain>
<request mode="restart">
...
</request>
<request>
...
</request>
<request mode="reboot">
...
</request>
<request>
...
</request>
</brain>
I need an XPath expression to select ONLY the request nodes which DON'T have a mode attribute.
<brain>
<request mode="restart">
...
</request>
<request>
...
</request>
<request mode="reboot">
...
</request>
<request>
...
</request>
</brain>
I need an XPath expression to select ONLY the request nodes which DON'T have a mode attribute.
