If we are using XSLT 2.0 then instead of constructing pattern contains(.,
'abc') or contains(., 'xyz') or contains(., 'pqr'), i think we can use
Quantified expressions some satisfies as below for the same example:-
some $a in ('abc','xyz','pqr') satisfies contains(.,$a)
Thanks!

Hi Michael --
Pretty sure. Using equal would constrain it to exact matches, yes? Which is
not what I want. For example, I want to use "neg" to find "negatives"
"negative" "neg" "negs" and so on, since the exact phrasing may vary.

Either use matches() as David Sewell suggests, or construct an expression along
the lines
contains(., 'abc') or contains(., 'xyz') or contains(., 'pqr')
But are you sure you actually want contains()? People often misuse it, thinking
it means "Node N contains value V". For that, you want an "equals" test.

I've done some googling on this but nothing seems quite to match what I want
to do.
At the top of my style sheet I have this:
<xsl:variable name="target" select="'Photo'"/>
Then later I do this to find all titles with that string in them:
<xsl:for-each
select="//dsc//unittitle[contains(normalize-space(.),$target)]">
So far so good, works great. The problem comes when I want to tell the
contains function to match on any one of several strings, e.g. Photo or Neg
or Film. So far I have tried the following but none of them work:
<xsl:variable name="target" select="'Photo|Neg'"/>
<xsl:variable name="target" select="'Photo'|'Neg'"/>
<xsl:variable name="target" select="'Photo' or 'Neg'"/>
<xsl:variable name="target" select="'Photo Neg'"/>
If I must, I can stick the or'ed terms directly in the contains function
rather than using a variable, but when I tried a few variations on that, they
didn't work either.
Thanks
