[xsl] Problem with matches in XPath 2.0

2006-10-14 10:52:01
Dear All

I'm having a problem with the matches() function, probably due to misreading the literature. I'm using Saxon.NET version 8. The following stylesheet needs only a dummy XML input. I was expecting the case-insensitive match to work.

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="/">
   <html>
   <body>
   <h3>String handling</h3>
   <xsl:variable name="sentence" select="'I love Paris in the spring'"/>
Case-sensitive match against 'paris': <xsl:value-of select="matches($sentence, 'paris')"/><br/> Case-insensitive match against 'paris': <xsl:value-of select="matches($sentence, 'paris', 'i')"/>
   </body>
   </html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I get false against both matches.

Thanks for your help

Joe
