You say leading numbers, but you don't give an example with a trailing
number. What do you want to happen to 123ABC789?
Also, the non-numeric parts of your strings contain A-Z only. Is that a
feature of the data, or just an accident of your examples?
You can handle your examples with translate($in, 'ABCDE...Z', '').

Subject: [xsl] Filter leading numbers out of Strings
Hi,
i have stings in different length with leading numbers in an
XML-File which i want to transform into another XML-File:
Is it possible to only filter out leading numbers of the
strings without using a recursive template and without using xsl2.0?
For example:
"1234AB" should be "1234"
"123456ABC" should be "123456"
"123456789A" should be "123456789"
thank`s a lot for any help,
Rolf
