Hi Trevor, > where, <xsl:value-of select="@from"/> (the value returned) needs to be > substringed(2, len(@from)-1). The example you gave was "ID(0DP_12345)" from which you wanted "ODP_12345". In XPath syntax, you need: substring(@from, 4, string-length(@from) - 4) The first argument is the string you want to substring. The second is the index of the first character in the substring that you want (XPath counts from 1 rather than 0). The third argument is the *length* of the substring that you want. Alternatively, you could use: substring-before(substring-after(@from, 'ID('), ')') which is easier if you can't count so well! > I have tried several JavaScripts, but I can't seem to get anything > to work. You're using XSLT, not Javascript. Take a look at the XPath quick reference from: http://www.mulberrytech.com/quickref/index.html > <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"> Oh, I take it back, you're not using XSLT at all, but WD-xsl, the defunct dialect once used in IE. Take a look at the MSXML FAQ at: http://www.netcrucible.com/xslt/msxml-faq.htm Cheers, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/
