All your input strings will be tokenized: ft:tokenize("Famu.") → "famu" ft:tokenize("Famu.Don") → "famu don" ft:tokenize("FamuDon") → "famudon" ft:tokenize("FamuDon.") → "famudon" ​The resulting tokens will then be matches against your wildcard query. As a result, dots (.) are treated the same way as spaces. Hope this helps, Christian​ On Fri, Jan 31, 2014 at 3:09 PM, John Best <johnbest5673@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi team,

For the following query, using wildcards option, I am getting result as last 2 <a> nodes, but I am expecting the first 2 <a> nodes. !!

let $a := <A> <a>Famu.</a> <a>Famu.Don</a> <a>FamuDon</a> <a>FamuDon.</a> </A>

for $x in $a//a[text() contains text 'Famu..*' using wildcards] return $x

Whats wrong?
