Using XPath, How do I select a node based on its text content and value of an attribute?

by

Generally I would consider the use of an unprefixed // as a bad smell in an XPath.

Try this:-

/DocText/WithQuads/Page/Word[text()='July' and Quad/P1/@X > 90]

Your problem is that you use the //P1[@X < 90] which starts back at the beginning of the document and starts hunting any P1 hence it will always be true. Similarly //P1[@X > 90] is always true.
