Question

Is there any way to search in XML doc with match case? In this post I see searching with exact match: XPath query for exact match

What I want to achieve is to get all matching elements according to my criteria.

Like if I have the following XML:

<Videos>
<Misc  URL="http://ccc/.webm1.webm"  />
<Misc  URL="http://bbb/OGG_2.ogv"  />
<Misc  URL="http://aaa/OGG_3.ogv"  />
<Misc  URL="http://ccc/.webm4.webm"  />
<Misc  URL="http://bbb/OGG_5.ogv"  />
<Misc  URL="http://aaa/OGG_6.ogv"  />
</Videos>

I want to get all nodes that contain or having .ogv, similarly all that contains .webm extensions.

Any idea how to get this?

Answer 1

//Misc[substring(@URL, string-length(@URL)-3)='.ogv']

The above uses XPath 1.0 and simply performs a substring and returns the last 3 characters to match against .ogv.

Also, to simplify the above, using XPath 2.0 //Videos/Misc[ends-with(@URL, '.ogv')].
