Re: [xsl] matches() method in XPath 1.0

["Dimitre Novatchev dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

https://stackoverflow.com/a/11857166/36305

This XPath 2.0 expression:

   ends-with($s, $t)

Has this equivalent in XPath 1.0:

$t = substring($s, string-length($s) - string-length($t) +1)


Thanks,
Dimitre
