Re: [xsl] Evaluating last 3 or 4 characters of URL?

[David Pratt <prattda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Charles. I'll make this change.  I am a bit tired and I did this 
as well as != instead of = .  It's going to be a slow night.  From 
xsltproc I am getting an XPath error at the first { in the expression 
which is the first hitch - so
not even getting to evaluate the expression.

XPath error Invalid expression
substring({@url}, -5, 5)='.html'
