How to select all elements with a specific attribute? with TinyXPath

Question

What is the XPath expression for selecting all elements with attribute A?

const char* xpath = "//\*/\*[@A]"

Not sure about the need to escape the `*`, but your current XPath is selecting all elements that have an `@A` and are children of an element, so it would match for most elements but you would miss the document element if it had an A attribute(since it won't have a parent element). — Mads Hansen, Apr 11 '11 at 11:14

This XPath selects all elements that have an A attribute:

//*[@A]
