Hi,

Can someone explain me how the contains(xml) function works?  
Because it always returns false.

I use it like this:  
[AS]xml.\*.contains(\<art5/\>)[/AS]

And my xml looks like this:

```php

<root>
<art5 aa15="05" aa25="372" acd5="" amc5="" abr5="000" aln5="000" apr5="000056,00">
<agr6 a16="05" a26="PBD" an6="1">
<art6 aa16="05" aa26="370" acd6="" amc6="" abr6="000" aln6="000" apr6="000030,00"/>
</agr6>
<agr6 a16="05" a26="PBE" an6="1">
<art6 aa16="05" aa26="369" acd6="" amc6="" abr6="000" aln6="000" apr6="000030,00"/>
<art6 aa16="05" aa26="371" acd6="" amc6="" abr6="000" aln6="000" apr6="000030,00"/>
</agr6>
</art5>
<art5 aa15="05" aa25="373" acd5="" amc5="" abr5="000" aln5="000" apr5="000056,00">
<agr6 a16="05" a26="PBD" an6="1">
<art6 aa16="05" aa26="370" acd6="" amc6="" abr6="000" aln6="000" apr6="000030,00"/>
</agr6>
<agr6 a16="05" a26="PBE" an6="1">

<art6 aa16="05" aa26="371" acd6="" amc6="" abr6="000" aln6="000" apr6="000030,00"/>
</agr6>
</art5>
<art5 aa15="05" aa25="374" acd5="" amc5="" abr5="000" aln5="000" apr5="000056,00">
<agr6 a16="05" a26="PBD" an6="1">
<art6 aa16="05" aa26="370" acd6="" amc6="" abr6="000" aln6="000" apr6="000030,00"/>

<agr6 a16="05" a26="PBE" an6="1">
<art6 aa16="05" aa26="369" acd6="" amc6="" abr6="000" aln6="000" apr6="000030,00"/>
<art6 aa16="05" aa26="371" acd6="" amc6="" abr6="000" aln6="000" apr6="000030,00"/>
</agr6>
</art5>
</root>

```

Thx! :d:
