Hello everyone,

I would sincerely apprec. any help you might offer.  What I need to do is
tokenize a node value into chunks, filter the trash and return in the xml,
the new clean string. I'm a newbie with xslt and am having a tough time
deciphering how to accomplish this.

As an examle:

How do you define "trash"? Is it the literal string " .. "? If you definitively define what is legal and what is illegal, this will be very simple.
