Dear all,

I have a couple of questions about XML and MSXML4.dll:

-- As I have understood by now, there is not yet a XSLT 2.0-
implentation of Microsoft available. Is that right?

-- Is it possible to perfom the following task in XSLT 1.0:
I have a XML containing a huge string like that

<myElement>
abd=Hans
def=Franz
xyz=Hallo
</myElement>

I want to query for the elements after the = - sign, so if I ask for
abd, I want to get Hans and so on.
I have already accomplished this task.
Unfortunately, sometimes the XML looks like that
<myElement>
ABd=Hans
dEf=Franz
xyz=Hallo
</myElement>

The search should be case - insensitive, so querying for abd or ABD
should get the result Hans. Is this possible?

Thank you for your help!

That is correct.

The translate function can help, see
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#function-translate>
but you will then need to list all the characters you want to translate e.g.
translate(., 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')
