You could use a trick. Sequences returned from a sequence expression are always
flattened and concatenated. So:
for $city in ('Hamburg', 'Coblenz', 'Aachen') return (if (contains('Hamburger',
$city)) then true() else ())
...returns true(), because the empty sequences are simply discarded. OTOH,
for $city in ('Hamburg', 'Coblenz', 'Aachen') return (if
(contains('Frankfurter', $city)) then true() else ())
...is treated as false, as you'll see:
boolean(for $city in ('Hamburg', 'Coblenz', 'Aachen') return (if
(contains('Frankfurter', $city)) then true() else ()))

Subject: [xsl] fn:contains multiple strings to compare with
Hi,
I´m using XSLT 2.0 and Saxon 8.
Basicly i want to have something that does this:
contains('$d/ris:organ/text()', 'Hamburg' or 'Koblenz' or 'xxx'...) ===>
Compare 1 String with multpile strings.
instead of that: contains('$d/ris:organ/text()','Hamburg') or
contains('$d/ris:organ/text()','Koblenz')...
