 Problem with matches in XPath 2.0
Dear All

I'm having a problem with the matches() function, probably due to misreading the literature. I'm using Saxon.NET version 8.
The following stylesheet needs only a dummy XML input. I was expecting the case-insensitive match to work.


<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h3>String handling</h3>
<xsl:variable name="sentence" select="'I love Paris in the spring'"/>
Case-sensitive match against 'paris': <xsl:value-of select="matches($sentence, 'paris')"/><br/>
Case-insensitive match against 'paris': <xsl:value-of select="matches($sentence, 'paris', 'i')"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


I get false against both matches.

Thanks for your help

Joe
