xPath Partial String Search Expression

[Chakravarthy]

Given an XML like the below, one can search for London with the xPath
expression using //destination[description='London']/code ... Now my
requirement is, how can we search for all descriptions has word "London"
which will result me the last 2 elements

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<locations>
<destination>
<code>LOH</code>
<description>Loch Ness</description>
</destination>
<destination>
<code>LON</code>
<description>London</description>
</destination>
<destination>
<code>LDY</code>
<description>Londonderry-N.Irl</description>
</destination>
</locations>

you could try something like "//destination[contains(description,
"London")]"

The Exact Xpath Expression for selecting all such Description Fields in the
document would be

"//description[contains(self::description,'London')]"
