Case Sensetive

[C# newbie]

Hi,

How can I make my query to return both "Bob" & "bob" (during search for a
string) ?

any idea?

thanks

Hello,

You can try to use "translate" function to convert the string to low or
upper case before comparing. For example you could try to use something like
this:

....

<xsl:if test="translate(@name, 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPSQRTUVWXYZ',
'abcdefghijklmnopsqrtuvwxyz') = 'bob'">

....

Could you please provide a part of your code so that I could better

Eugene, thanks for caring. I have an xml file and written a program which
finds strings/text into that xml file using SelectNode() & ...
As you will see there is a name like "Bob" or so many other data into the
xml file. I need to know how I can find a text or string into the xml file
regardless of what user enters. User may enter bob or Bob. I know there is a
translate finction as you said but dont know how to include it in my xpath
query which is:
//*[contains(.,"Bob")]

XML goes here:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

Beware, that's obviously English only solution. If you under .NET, for
better i18n you can try EXSLT.NET [1] with it's function str2:lowercase().

Expression is ok, so it must be some error in the code you didn't show us.
