You can check whether a string contains another string with the
contains() function. So you could use:

  TAP/TutorialList/Tutorial[contains(DifficultyLevel, 'inne')]

Or, if there can be more than one DifficultyLevel within each
Tutorial:

  TAP/TutorialList/Tutorial[DifficultyLevel[contains(., 'inne')]]

There's no general regular expression testing facility in XPath 1.0,
though one is introduced in XPath 2.0.

Cheers,

Jeni
