Yes Thanks you, I had notice that ... after a little bit of reflexion :-) I debuged like you said but with $escapetool.xml I didn't notice the problem because Xwiki HTML rendering. Thanks a lot for your help. :-) Pascal B ________________________________ De : Eduard Moraru <enygma2002(a)gmail.com> À : Pascal BASTIEN <pbasnews-xwiki(a)yahoo.fr>fr>; XWiki Users <users(a)xwiki.org> Envoyé le : Mercredi 8 octobre 2014 23h58 Objet : Re: [xwiki-users] Escape character with $stringtool.contains Hi Pascal, The problem is that you are searching for unescaped content inside escaped content. In other words, $escapetool.xml called at the beginning escapes your "{" characters to "{". Then you basically call $stringtool.contains("{", "{") which will clearly be false. It`s not a problem of $stringtool.contains, but on your code. Of course that (in your second mail) $stringtool.contains("{", $escapetool.xml("{")) returns true because it is the same thing as calling $stringtool.contains($escapetool.xml("{"), $escapetool.xml("{")) If you plan to do string matching on content, try to leave the escaping of the content towards the end, when you actually have to display it and really need to escape it. Until then, work with it unprocessed, as in #set($MyContent=$recentDoc.content) You would have easily noticed the problem yourself if you would have tried printing the value of $MyContent for debugging purposes and to see what it is actually that you are trying to match. It is a good practice in general to double check your coding by printing intermediary values of your code. Happy coding! -Eduard On Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 5:46 PM, Pascal BASTIEN <pbasnews-xwiki(a)yahoo.fr> wrote: ... escapetool.xml is my new friend :-/
