RE: Filter XML base on partial matching element value

I'm guessing that you want to assign the variable a value?

If so, in XSLT, you only can assign it a value to the element content like
your example shows, or use a select attribute containing an Xpath
expression, like this:

<xsl:variable name="parFieldValue" select="Activities/Activity[@attrx=
'abc']" />

After that you can't change the value of the variable anymore, but you can
refer to it using $parFieldValue anywhere it is in scope. The scope of the
variable can be global or local (within a template), it depends where you
declare the variable.

Thank you Pieter,

I am using contains() with a conditional xsl:if test and it is working.


Now another question for the list. 
I would like to get the value of a random Element by passing the Element
Name in a variable

<xsl:variable name="parFieldValue">Name</xsl:variable >

....
....

Then 

<xsl:value-of select="Activities/Activity[$parFieldValue]" />

Should return the value of

<xsl:value-of select="Activities/Activity/Name" />

Hi Horacio, 

The way you're referring to 'wildcards', you could use the XSLT
start-with() or contains() string functions.

Hi all,

It is possible to use 'wildcards' while selecting elements containing
partial matching values.

My XML source looks like this:

<Activities>
	<Activity>
		<Id>4865</Id>
		<Status>Open</Status>
		<Name>Paul</Name>
	</Activity>
	
	<Activity>
		<Id>6765</Id>
		<Status>Open Pending</Status>
		<Name>John</Name>
	</Activity>

	<Activity>
		<Id>66567</Id>
		<Status>Open</Status>
		<Name>Joseph</Name>
	</Activity>

	<Activity>
		<Id>54565</Id>
		<Status>Close</Status>
		<Name>Susan</Name>
	</Activity>
</Activities>


I would like to get the following result

<Activities>

	<Activity>
		<Id>6765</Id>
		<Status>Open Pending</Status>
		<Name>John</Name>    ----------> Matching 'Jo'
	</Activity>

	<Activity>
		<Id>66567</Id>
		<Status>Open</Status>
		<Name>Joseph</Name>    ----------> Matching 'Jo'
	</Activity>

</Activities>


Thank you in advance

Horacio
