Using Nokogiri to search through XML file based on user input in Rails app?

Instead of requiring the exact text value, you might also be interested in the XPath functions contains() or starts-with() .

Your issue is with the XPath that Nokogiri is using. You need to specify what the namespace is in attributes. More info at the Nokogiri documentation.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
