In this specific example I would think you could useMichael,
substring-before( substring-after($x, 'font-family'), ";")
But of course what you really need is the regex handling offered by XSLT 2.0.

Subject: [xsl] Pattern Matching a sting value
How in XSLT 1.0 do you interogate a specific portion of a string?
$stg = "font:...;font-family:Arial;color:#FFFFF;...."Not sure what interested means, if you want to test for the
I am only interested in the portion of this string that
contains Arial.
use the boolean contains() function;Jim,
contains($stg,'Arial') would return true
Otherwise use the following string based functions
string substring-before(string, string) string substring-after(string, string) string substring(string, number, number?) string concat(string, string, string*) number string-length(string?)
You might need these as well;
string normalize-space(string?) string translate(string, string, string)
Check out here for specific techniques;

Otherwise if you want something with regular expressions or more advanced string handling like replacing text check out www.exslt.org.

specifically I have a attribute that contains many values that I have to break apart and set to individual attribute values so
a string that contains "color:#FFFFF;font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold;" I would need to select only the value begining after the : in font-family and ending with;before font-weight.
Do any of the string function above support the functionality I am looking for? Thanks for the tip on the contains function. Already using that function to determine if a attribute string value contains font-family in the first place.
