xml selection on attribute expressions

xml selection on attribute expressions

Following an example in the chapter on Expressions and filters for xml-processing one can select on an attribute ‘name’ in the node <file name=“whatever”/>

   file[@name=="whatever”]/command(todo) 

However, I would like to select on a combination of alternatives, so that equivalent are
    <file name=“whatever”/> and  <file src=“whatever”/>

I tried several variations but none of them work.
   \xmlfilter{#1}{file([@name=="whatever”] or [@src=="whatever”])/command(todo)
   \xmlfilter{#1}{file[@name=="whatever”] or [@src=="whatever”]/command(todo)
   \xmlfilter{#1}{file[@name=="whatever”] or file[@src=="whatever”]/command(todo)
   \xmlfilter{#1}{(file[@name=="whatever”]|file[@src=="whatever”])/command(todo)


How to? Or is this impossible?

Sorry for the noise, but I just forget to try the obvious and correct solution:

   \xmlfilter{#1}{file[@name=="whatever" or @src=="whatever"]/command(todo)}

Must have been a temporary ‘blindness’.
