Re: [xsl] Pattern Substring

[Senthilukvelaan <skumaravelan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
Yes, the Option Number might not start with 55 in some cases, I would
like to handle them as well. I do not have option of
moving to XSLT 2.0 at this time.
Please suggest me ,how this can be done in XSLT 1.0.

Thanks,
Senthil
