Re: [xsl] Can group-by treat its target it two ways?

["Mark" <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Ken.
By the way, I note that two letters in my expression do not appear correctly 
in the email because of localization problems. The first two letters should 
be a c and r with a hacek (caret) above them, not the 'A' with umlaut and 
ring + TM as my email client shows.

My index is now complete. Thanks for all the help everyone has given me.
Mark

Don't forget you can also use starts-with() for
your tests, and then you don't have to sometimes
use a length of 1 and sometimes use a length of 2.

I hope this helps.
