Mike,
I found an expression for exactly what I was looking for in your
book. 1st edition p. 514 bottom of the page under Substring.
Now my xsl reads like this:
<xsl:variable name="qq">.</xsl:variable>
<xsl:for-each select="//C03//CORPNAME">
<xsl:variable name="getit" select="."/>
<xsl:variable name="pvnum" select="..//@ID"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($getit, $qq) and
substring(substring-after($getit, $qq), 2, 1)=$qq">
<TR>
<TD><xsl:value-of select="."/></TD>
</TR>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
I got it and it works. I am a little bleary-eyed (small font!), but
thanks.
Mike F.
