And many thanks for this too, both answers are very helpful. The first 
method will be sufficient to work for me.
Best,
Graham.

Subject: [CWB] xml searches...
Message-ID: <8c93469d-12cd-4358-a77e-75855d0fa428@univ-avignon.fr>

Hello everybody,
I have a corpus with xml tagging, some of it pretty standard, other 
stuff homemade. I can made a search like this
<orw> []+ </orw>
to recover all elements tagged <orw>.
I can also make searches targeting words or parts of speech inside a 
chapter division like this
n:[pos="AJ0"] :: n.div2_n="2";
Is there any way I can search for xml tags inside other xml tags? 
Something like
n: <orw>[]+</orw> :: n.div2_n="1";
(which doesn't work, as it is gross improvisation!).
Many thanks in advance for any help!
Best,
Graham.
