You are looking for:
select="a[b = '7']"
The [...] is called a predicate.
If you look closely enough at the example, you will notice a select expression containing a
predicate as well...

Dear reader,
As a XML and XSL newbie I would like to know whether it is possible to
select an element based on the value of one of children and how this can
best be done.
I have a xml document with the following structure:
<main>
<a>
<b>5</b>
<c>G</c>
</a>
<a>
<b>7</b>
<c>L</c>
</a>
<a>
<b>4</b>
<c>T</c>
</a>
</main>
I would like to know how to, for example, select the following element
and use it in my stylesheet (<xsl:for-each select="???????">):
<a>
<b>7</b>
<c>L</c>
</a>
Note that I select the element with a child b having a value of 7.
Cheers,
Bjorn
P.S. I tried to do my "homework" and found the following example

not understand what their solution to the problem is.
