How to duplicate XML Element for label and caption text?

This is possible to script? i don't how to start and end. Please suggest friends. I have place the screenshot below:

 var tableTableCapXpath = "//jrnlTblBlock/p[@aid:pstyle='jrnlTblCaption']/bold/label"; //Duplicate label part
 var tableXMLElementCap = curDoc.xmlElements[0].evaluateXPathExpression(tableTableCapXpath); 
 var tableTableCapXpath = "//jrnlTblBlock/p[@aid:pstyle='jrnlTblCaption']"; //Duplicate caption part
 var tableXMLElementCap = curDoc.xmlElements[0].evaluateXPathExpression(tableTableCapXpath); 

Please help and suggest friends

Not sure what you want to do exactly but xpath won't duplicate a xmlElement because it let you just target the nodes you are interested in.

However EvaluateXPathExpression will return an array of XMLElements if any is found.

var myXMLElements = someXMLElement.evaluateXPathExpression( someXPath ); //array of XMLElements objects

In the latter, you can reference a member of that array and call a regular duplicate method.

var sourceXMLElement = myXMLElements[0]; //A reference to the first child of the array

then duplicate

var dup = sourceXMLElement.duplicate();

It will copy the xmlElement just after the source so you may want to move the copy somewhere else;

dup.move ( LocationOptions.AFTER, someReferenceXMLElement );

FWIW
