MSXML includes two functions that you can use to filter data in a case-insensitive search. With MSXML 3.0, you can use the translate function. With MSXML 4.0, you can use either the translate function or the new ms:string-compare XPath function.
To perform a case-insensitive search by a DomainName property that is named "mydomain1.com" on the following XML data
The syntax for ms:string-compare in MSXML 4.0 is as follows:
'To use MSXML 4.0, you need to use 4.0 dependent progid explicitly.' ...'Set the select namespace for xmlns:msoXML.setProperty "SelectionNamespaces", "xmlns:ms='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt'"set node = oXML.selectSingleNode("Domains/DomainName[ms:string-compare(., 'mydomain1.com', 'en-US', 'i') = 0]")
For more information about the translate and the ms:string-compare functions, see the XML Software Development Kit (SDK) documentation.
