For example, translate($x, '012345789', '9999999999') will convert all digits to 9s, which makes it possible to use substring-before(translate($x, '012345789', '9999999999'), '9') to find the text that precedes the first digit. Or given the string "51a", you can extract the "a" using translate($x, '0123456789', ''). Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
