RE: About "starts-with"

["Selva, Francis" <Francis dot Selva at purchasepro dot com>]

David,I checked the archives and I couldnt find a solution in there.So I
guess back to you..... :)

How can I get the names which starts with a particular character if my xml
is like this?

<test>
	<name>Francis</name>
	<name>Frank</name>
	<name>Joe</name>
</test>

I tried like this which gives me the correct boolean values but how can I
get the names?

<xsl:template match="/">
	<xsl:for-each select="//name">
		<xsl:value-of select="starts-with(.,'a')"/>
	</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
