I get false against both matches.
Probably you are using an older version of Saxon.
With both Saxon J 8.7.3 and Saxon.NET 8.7.3 I get the following result:
<html>
<body>
<h3>String handling</h3>
Case-sensitive match against 'paris': false<br>
Case-insensitive match against 'paris': true
</body>
</html>

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
