I would do it as in XSLT 1.0:
test="//id[number(substring-after('ttt:')) = $a]"

Subject: [xsl] Converting a string to a double
Hi all,
Using the following XML:
<i>
<b>
<id>urn:ttt:188589</id>
</b>
<b>
<id>urn:ttt:188689</id>
</b>
<b>
<id>urn:ttt:188989</id>
</b>
</i>
I want to see if the document contains an id tag with a
particular number after the string 'ttt:' I can only do this
by comparing this value with a double datatype value stored
in a variable $a. What is the best way to do this in XSLT 2?
