I have this rather complex xpath:
//element[@*[contains(translate(., translate(.,
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789', ''),
''), translate('string', translate('string',
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789', ''),
''))]]
where "string" would be an input string with non-alpha chars and
spaces and mixed letter cases.
I would like to select any element whose attributes contain parts of
the input string, stripped by non-alpha chars and whitespace.
Problem is, the xpath does not work for mixed char input strings.
Wouldn't
//element[matches(@*,replace($string,'[\p{L}\p{Nd}]',''),'i')]
work?
(I'm really not quite clear what you mean by whitespace above; you don't do
anything with it in your example XPath, so it's unclear to me if you
want to strip the whitespace from the attributes or the provide string.)
