get xml tag by path?

[Tomer]

Hi,
I've a xml file and I want to get a value of a specific tag, somelike:
"//configuration/appconfig/edit" and attribute name is "name"

up untill now I've got it like this:

xmlf["configuration"]["appconfig"]["edit"].attribute["name"].value

and now I need a better way to do this.

Tomer.

It does not get better than that in terms of performance.
Alex Yakhnin posted some stuff on the implementing XQuery here

but you can't expect better performance than by doing a direct query
