Hi Folks,
I want to determine if 'Lecur' occurs in $text.
A naove solution is this XPath expression:
contains($text, 'Lecur')
However, that does not take into account many important factors:
1. Perhaps 'Lecur' occurs, but in $text it is in uppercase
2. Perhaps instead of the '' ligature, $text uses 'oe'
3. Perhaps in $text 'Lecur' is split over two lines and thus is hyphenated
4. Perhaps 'Lecur' is slightly misspelled in $text and therefore requires
fuzzy matching
And there are many other important factors.
Do you have an XPath solution to this problem that takes into account the many
important factors?
/Roger
