@sally sally

can you change the property to

//localAttributes[@name='rs']

it will gives you only

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><localAttributes name="rs">
<start>2017-09-07</start>
<startDate>2017-02-02</startDate>
<endDate>2017-03-02</endDate>
<runAs>true</runAs>
<patch>this is patch</patch>
<makeVersion>1</makeVersion>
</localAttributes>

(or)

if name=rs is first in value every time in local attribute node then you can use

//localAttributes[1]

will results the same output.
