RE: Filter XML base on partial matching element value

Thank you Pieter,

I am using contains() with a conditional xsl:if test and it is working.


Now another question for the list. 
I would like to get the value of a random Element by passing the Element
Name in a variable

<xsl:variable name="parFieldValue">Name</xsl:variable >

....
....

Then 

<xsl:value-of select="Activities/Activity[$parFieldValue]" />

Should return the value of

<xsl:value-of select="Activities/Activity/Name" />

Hi Horacio, 

The way you're referring to 'wildcards', you could use the XSLT
start-with() or contains() string functions.

Hi all,

It is possible to use 'wildcards' while selecting elements containing
partial matching values.

My XML source looks like this:

<Activities>
        <Activity>
                <Id>4865</Id>
                <Status>Open</Status>
                <Name>Paul</Name>
        </Activity>
        
        <Activity>
                <Id>6765</Id>
                <Status>Open Pending</Status>
                <Name>John</Name>
        </Activity>

        <Activity>
                <Id>66567</Id>
                <Status>Open</Status>
                <Name>Joseph</Name>
        </Activity>

        <Activity>
                <Id>54565</Id>
                <Status>Close</Status>
                <Name>Susan</Name>
        </Activity>
</Activities>


I would like to get the following result

<Activities>

        <Activity>
                <Id>6765</Id>
                <Status>Open Pending</Status>
                <Name>John</Name>    ----------> Matching 'Jo'
        </Activity>

        <Activity>
                <Id>66567</Id>
                <Status>Open</Status>
                <Name>Joseph</Name>    ----------> Matching 'Jo'
        </Activity>

</Activities>


Thank you in advance

Horacio
