Hello All:

I have an xml document that contains <Control> nodes, each of which has a
"name" attribute (i.e. <Control name="myControl" />. I want to find all of
the nodes that have "Recipient" anywhere in the name attribute's value. So,
if I have the following:

<Controls>
<Control name="PrimaryRecipient" />
<Control name="RecipientCC1" />
<Control name="RecipientCC2" />
<Control name="RecipientCC3" />
<Control name="Claimant" />
</Controls>

when i request all of the nodes with 'Recipient' in the name attribute, I
want to get back a nodelist of the first four Control nodes.

I've poked around and have tried to devise a way to use the fn:contains
function from XPath, but am totally stuck. Do any of you know how to do
this? Should I be using something from the System.Xml.XPath namespace
instead?

I'm in over my head. Any help will be much appreciated.

TIA,

authors/author/publisher/book[contains(@name, 'ADO')]

Controls/Control[contains(@name,'Recipient')]

you can also use starts-with where appropriate.
