Sweet! That seems to work... What is the "^\d+$" doing exactly? I've
done a few searches and didn't come up with anything... where would its
use be documented?
Thanks,
Randy

Can anyone share an example of using regular expressions within an

predicate? I'm wanting to parse a structure and pick out any elements
that have a non-numeric name. Example:
<security>
<policies>
<policy>
<name>randy</name>
...
</policy>
<policy>
<name>1</name>
...
</policy>
<policy>
<name>policy 101</name>
...
</policy>
<policy>
<name>3</name>
...
</policy>
I'm trying to figure out what xpath expression would identify the
policies with alpha characters... Something like:
not(/security/policies/policy[name=[0-9]*])
/security/policies/policy[not(matches(name, '^\d+$'))]
