RE: newbie question about strings and XPath expressions

Hi,

Hello Jarno, thank you, it worked fine.
I'm actually trying to extract the items of an enumeration in 
an xhtml file to present 
them as individual item elements in the xml output. Is there 
a way of iterating through 
this input text looking for the enumeration items? I mean, 
could I increment the number 
in the starts-with expression somehow?

By writing a recursive template you can increment the number used in the 
starts-with test. But couldn't you just test if the text node start with a 
number, e.g.

not(string(number(substring-before(., '.'))) = 'NaN')

Cheers,
