Re: [xsl] Running xsltproc does not produce any output

["ohaya ohaya@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Hi Liam,
To clarify what I posted, when I had "[Tab]" that is LITERALLY 5 characters
string, "[" followed by "Tab" and then followed by "]".
Thanks,
Jim

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

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

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

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

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