xml

[spara]

Iam writing a search with XML and ASP means instead of using a database I stored the data in an xml file and trying to search it with XSL . for that i need to find a string lies in the description or not . instring like function I need
could any one help me?
for example

<row>
<lk>one<lk>
<desc>This is a test</desc>
</row>


if I search for &quot;test&quot; I should diplay the desc whole content

now iam success to the extent that if i search for the whole &quot;This is a test&quot; Iam getting.


is it boring?

Hello,
XSL has a function contains(firstarg, secondarg) which returns True if the first argument string contains the second argument string; otherwise returns False.

For example
<xsl:value-of select=&quot;//desc[contains(., 'test')]&quot;/>
will print the text of desc tag, only if it contains string test.
. is shortcut to current node. It could be
<xsl:value-of select=&quot;//desc[contains(//desc, 'test')]&quot;/>

You have to figure out how to do in your case, because I suppose that 'test' value will come from a input box in a form.
Hope this helps.
