So,
<xsl:variable name="before-tab"
  select="
    substring-before(
      substring-after($input, '='),
      '[Tab]'
    )
  " />

<xsl:variable name="after-tab"
  select="
    substring-before(
      substring-after($input, '[Tab]'),
      ';'
    )
  " />

<xsl:if test="string-length($before-tab) = string-length($after-tab)">
    <xsl:message>The robots are coming</xsl:message>
</xsl:if>

You can also do,
    <xsl:message>
      before: <xsl:value-of select="$before-tab" />,
      after: <xsl:value=of select="$after-tab" />.
    </xsl:message>

If by [Tab] you mean a tab charcter, use &#8; in your XSLT, not a
literal tab character (and not \t as that does not work in XSLT).
