SelectNodes with XPath ignoring cases
c#, case-insensitive, html-agility-pack, xpath
Solution
Not sure if you've tried this yet, but this is what I do for case sensitive contains searches:
//*[contains(translate(./@id,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'), 'footer')]/@id
I saw you have found your solution, so I'm posting this answer in case others have the same issue.
Problem
I have a problem finding elements in XPath that's contains a certain string ignoring character casing. I want to find in a HTML page all the nodes with id contains the text "footer" ignoring it's write in uppercase or lowercase. In my example I have a different html text like this: ``` <div id="footer">some text</div> <div id="anotherfooter">some text</div> <div id="AnotherFooter">some text</div> <div id="AnotherFooterAgain">some text</div> ``` I need to select all nodes (or any combination in any case with the word "footer" in the id) with a XPath. Currently I'm using this xpath but doesn't work for the UpperCase id's ``` "//*[contains(./@id, 'footer')]/@id" ``` I've done several tests with translate() but doesn't work as I expected. Any idea? EDIT: I'm using HtmlAgilityPack with works with the XPath 1.0 version.
