XPath to check if a value exists in a element in java script

I need to check whether values S1 or S2 exists in the below xml document using Xpath. I have tried something like below , but its not working. Can anyone help me in this.?

I just need to know if any of the value ( S1 or S2) exists.

Xpath I tried : "//Field/Array[String=S1 or String=S2]" 

XML Document :
     <Field name="F1">
        <Array name="A1">
          <String>S1</String>
          <String>S2</String>
          <String>S3</String>
          <String>S4</String>
        </Array>
      </Field>

You need to use single or double quotes to indicate a string literal, otherwise it will be read as child element name instead :

//Field/Array[String='S1' or String='S2']

As posted your XPath will check if value of a String element equals to value of S1 or S2 element which will be evaluated to false since there is no child element named S1 or S2.
