Xpath returning ?
Hey folks,
I an using Xpath for the first time with rapidminer. with the extract information operator however I keep getting "?" as the output for my attribute. I have checked in chrome that the Xpath is correct, and I've tried placing variants of h: /h: //h: in the query expression field at the start of the xpath, however no matter how I edit this field I still get ? as the result for the attribute.
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Neil.

Next recommended steps would be to take the free courses on the RM academy
https://academy.rapidminer.com/
If you have more questions feel free to ask us. We do have the answer you are searching for but I'm trying to show you the next steps for answering all the questions that will come after you figure out how to pass the "?" the is currently bothering you.
Best regards!
Sorry for reopening but I'm still stuck. I am getting the correct results with Xpath in Google sheets using "//*@id="centerFrameWhite"]/p[1]/b" on the website https://www.ntfa.net/universe/english/index.php?act=view&char=Afterburner .
However I have tried this multiple different ways with Rapidminer to no success. Any help is much appreciated I tried to follow the other link above but couldn't get it working.
