Hello,

I'm trying to extract data with xpath from an html page.

I have:
Create Document => Extract Information

Create Document: 

<html>
<head>
<title>TITLE</title>
</head>
<body>BODY</body>
</html>
Extract Information configurated with:
query type: xpath
attribute type: nominal
xpath queries: //title
namespace: n/a
ignore CDATA: true
assume html: true

Result:
attribute name: ?

What am I doing wrong?  >:(

    I'm asking this because if I try the same thing in a online path test it work without any problem... so I don't know why Rapidminer isn't.

    Solved

    I can't use path like this, I have to use for example:

    //h:title/text()

    text() to extract only the text from the title tag

    and I have to use h: because is html, right?
