import java.io.File;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.xpath.XPath;
import javax.xml.xpath.XPathConstants;
import javax.xml.xpath.XPathExpression;
import javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Node;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;

public class TestXML05 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {

            DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
            Document doc = factory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(new File("Sample.xml"));

            XPathFactory xFactory = XPathFactory.newInstance();
            XPath xPath = xFactory.newXPath();
            XPathExpression exp = xPath.compile("/article/body/section/region[contains(translate(text(), 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'), 'perfect')]");

            NodeList nl = (NodeList)exp.evaluate(doc.getFirstChild(), XPathConstants.NODESET);
            for (int index = 0; index < nl.getLength(); index++) {

                Node node = nl.item(index);
                System.out.println(node.getTextContent());

            }


        } catch (Exception ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(TestXML05.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
