Hello all,

 I have a repeating table and the table contains a sub repeating group. User can filter the table by textfields using for filterss.
My xml structure ist following:

<my:myFields xmlns:my="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/myXSD/2005-11-03T09-00-35">

 <my:Recipe>
  <my:RecipeName>Name1</my:RecipeName>
  <my:ParameterSection>
   <my:Parameter>
    <my:PName>P1</my:PName>
    <my:EIName>Ei1</my:EIName>
   </my:Parameter>
   <my:Parameter>
    <my:PName>P2</my:PName>
    <my:EIName>Ei2</my:EIName>
   </my:Parameter>
   <my:Parameter>
    <my:PName>P3</my:PName>
    <my:EIName>Ei3</my:EIName>
   </my:Parameter>
  </my:ParameterSection>
 </my:Recipe>
 
 <my:Recipe>
  <my:RecipeName>Name2</my:RecipeName>
  <my:ParameterSection>
   <my:Parameter>
    <my:PName>P1</my:PName>
    <my:EIName>Ei1</my:EIName>
   </my:Parameter>
   <my:Parameter>
    <my:PName>P2</my:PName>
    <my:EIName>Ei2</my:EIName>
   </my:Parameter>
   <my:Parameter>
    <my:PName>P3</my:PName>
    <my:EIName>Ei3</my:EIName>
   </my:Parameter>
  </my:ParameterSection>
 </my:Recipe>
 
 <my:Recipe>
  <my:RecipeName>Name3</my:RecipeName>
  <my:ParameterSection>
   <my:RecipeParameter>
    <my:PName>a</my:PName>
    <my:EIName/>
   </my:RecipeParameter>
   <my:RecipeParameter>
    <my:PName>b</my:PName>
    <my:EIName/>
   </my:RecipeParameter>
   <my:RecipeParameter>
    <my:PName>c</my:PName>
    <my:EIName/>
   </my:RecipeParameter>
  </my:ParameterSection>
 </my:Recipe> 

 <my:Filter>
  <my:FilterRecipeName></my:FilterRecipeName>
  <my:FilterPName></my:FilterPName>
 </my:Filter>

</my:myFields>

The filter is set in the master table of <my:Recipe>.
Following filter works fine:
  "contains(my:RecipeName, //my:FilterRecipeName)"
  Example:
  "contains(my:RecipeName, 'Name3')"
  Result:
  - 1 Recipe is shown in the table

Following filter doesn't work correct:
  "contains(my:RecipeName/my:ParameterSection/my:RecipeParameter/my:PName, //my:FilterPName)"  --> filter looks in the first element of <my:RecipeParameter>
  ".//my:RecipeParameterSection/my:RecipeParameter[contains(my:PName, //my:FilterPName)]"  --> filter works in xml spy good, but in InfoPath it works not correct

 I had tried many filters and had no found a correct solution. 

I hope you can understand my problem and anybody knows a solution?

Thanks.

contains() only works on a single node, not a node-set. That's the problem.

You might be able to do something like:

/my:ParameterSection/my:RecipeParameter/my:PName[contains(., //my:FilterPName)]
