Xpath: selecting nodes that have a certain child node

Question

Using the pugixml library, I am trying to select all nodes that fit:

//v6_root_object/v6_rootlist2d/obj_pluginobject[@level='0']

that have a child node described by

//v6_root_object/v6_rootlist2d/obj_pluginobject[@level='0']/chunk[@id='110064']/string[@v='light']

Is there an easy way to do this in xpath?

You can try this way :

//v6_root_object/v6_rootlist2d/obj_pluginobject
    [
     @level='0' 
            and 
     chunk[@id='110064']/string[@v='light']
    ]

simply add child node XPath (relative to it's parent node) in the XPath criteria (within []).
