Re: select an element

Thanks, David. I tried what you said put the $word="\xE1"; and give
initial value for parameter in <xsl:param name="Kentry"
select="'\xE1'"/>. And made the line like this:   <xsl:for-each
select="/reportname/Entry[substring(ENTRY_FORM,1,$wordLength) =
substring($Kentry,1,$wordLength)]">. But it still doesn't work. It
really puzzled me. More help?

Thanks again!

Your input contains the Unicode character with value E1 (a acute)
so you need to set the paramter to that value. There is no point setting
it to the string &#x00E1; and if you force that string to be of length 1
using substring then it will just be &

I don't know php but can't you just type the a acute directly, or does
it have its own escape syntax in strings such as \00e1

In fact 30 seconds in google suggests that you can't do arbitrary
unicode
but you could do \xe1 in this case.
