xpath substring with case insensitivity

rhitam30111985

Hi all , i need some validation

I have an xml like this :

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <root>

    <url newurl="aTom Bomb" />

    <url newurl ="tOm and Jerry" />

    <url newurl ="TomBoy" />

    <url newurl ="Random string" />

</root>

Now , my aim is to select all the url elements where the newurl attribute contains the word "tom" despite the case. I am using the xpath like this :

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
var String ="TOM";

var  xpath = "//url[contains(translate(@newurl, 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'),'" +  String.toLowerCase()+"')]";

I am not sure since sometimes it returns correct result and sometime it doesnt ...

Would appreciate any help.

Could you post examples of when it returns the correct result and when it doesn't? Can't see anything immediately wrong with what you've provided.
