Take this input: <div id="ps-content">foobar</div>
and apply this XPATH 2+: //div[matches(@id,"^s-content$")]
In BaseX command-line it matched! despite the fact that "^" in regex language means "the start of the string".
With Saxon and Xidel command-line it correctly doesn't match. Why does it match in BaseX?

I just tried the following query..
<div id="ps-content">foobar</div>[matches(@id,"^s-content$")]..and I got no result. Which BaseX version are you working with? Can you give us some more details?

Written for BaseX 7.6. BaseX may have changed since: please check the current documentation.
