RE: Filter XML base on partial matching element value

Hi Horacio, 

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

Subject:  Filter XML base on partial matching element value

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
