How to use not contains() in XPath?

by

XPath queries are case sensitive. Having looked at your example (which, by the way, is awesome, nobody seems to provide examples anymore!), I can get the result you want just by changing “business”, to “Business”

//production[not(contains(category,'Business'))]

I have tested this by opening the XML file in Chrome, and using the Developer tools to execute that XPath queries, and it gave me just the Film category back.
