return attribute value containing certain characters

[gibblin]

Hi,

I have code which is working fine, it's picking up data from the following path:-

path="/category/event[@name='Man U v Arsenal']/type[@name='Match']/@points";

However i need it to pick up all events where 'Arsenal' are involved, not just 'Man U v Arsenal'. So i need a 'like' statement or something. I've tried incorporating 'contains' but to no avail.

I've searched high and low for an answer. Any ideas anyone? It'd be appreciated.

oh this is for a website being coded in php.

>path="/category/event[@name='Man U v Arsenal']/type[@name='Match']/@points";
[tt]path="/category/event[[red]contains(@name,'Arsenal')[/red]]/type[@name='Match']/@points";[/tt]

>[previous thread]
>xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
[tt]xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0"); //or higher[/tt]
