XPath: Find a node within a text node
up vote

I have the following html:
<code>The first code block</code>
<p>Some text and <code>the second code block</code> followed by other text</p>
I need to find and remove all code blocks from it. I use the following XPath '//code', but it finds only the first code block while the second remains.
Question: Why '//code' is not able to catch the second code block? How to fix it?
Details: I'm doing it in Ruby using Nokagiry. My code looks like this:
html = Nokogiri::HTML(File.read(htmlFile))
html.search('//code').remove
UPDATE:
The XPath worked in fact. I just made a mistake in different place.

Seems like You forget about iterator...
Try:
html = Nokogiri::HTML(File.read(htmlFile))
html.search('//code').each{|htm| htm.remove}

Thank you. It turns out the the XPath I mentioned in the question worked, I had an error in different place. But your code also works.
