Find an element by Xpath which contains text

Question

This works fine if I search for a single string:

var element = Driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//a[contains(text(), 'About us')]"));

But could I have an or statement like in the example below?

var element = Driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//a[contains(text(), 'About us' or 'about us')]")); 

Solution 1

say or between two calls of contains function

//a[contains(text(), 'About us') or contains(text(), 'about us')]

or use translate function to make xpath case insensitive

//a[contains(translate(text(), 'ABOUTS', 'abouts'), 'about us')]

Solution 2

Below satisfies your requirement:

//a[contains(., 'About us') or contains(., 'about us')]

can be a little bit simplified to : translate(text(), 'ABOUTS', 'abouts')

@har07 thanks. Specially looked up the repeating letters and missed anyway
