yes, and yes.
It should be possible to do like your example (I think :) but it's
definitively possible to create a "local" variable related to current
node:
<xsl:for-each select="$lines">
<xsl:variable name="type" select="substring(., 1, 3)"/>
<record>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$field_definitions/*[(_at_)type = $type]"/>
...
</record/>
</xsl:for-each>

Is it possible to do a function inside of an expression?
Here is my XSL code:
<xsl:for-each select="$lines">
<record>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$field_definitions/*[(_at_)type =
(substring(., 1,
3))]">
<xsl:sort select="field_no" order="ascending" data-type="number"/>
<xsl:with-param name="current_context" select="."/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</record>
</xsl:for-each>
My question is in regards to the substring function in the
apply-templates
expression.
The current context of the $lines variable will look something like
this:
"AA0 12345 fdsajl129..."
I'm trying to match the first three characters of that string.
If I can't do this, can I create a variable for this for-each ONLY?
Thanks again,
