RE: [xsl] Substring Misunderstood?

Hi Robin, <xsl:if test="substring($idvalue,1)='1_1'"> is identical to <xsl:if test="$idvalue = '1_1'"> as the substring starts at the first charactor, and continues the full length of the string. If the the $idvalue doesn't equal that id, then $idStr will end up being empty. Is that what you wanted? If the   are the indents for each line, only id 1_1 will be indented. The template should go through each of the employee nodes and give the following for each <div align="left">  1_1Jo Bloggs - Manager</div> OR <div align="left">Jill Horne - Sales</div> Prehaps you would like line breaks between each div (<br/>) Tim -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Robin Samways I am trying to use substring to return a string from a variable which gets a new value after each pass through a sorted list. As follows: <xsl:template match="employee"> <xsl:variable name="idvalue" select="id"/> <xsl:variable name="idStr"> <xsl:if test="substring($idvalue,1)='1_1'">   <xsl:value-of select="id"/> </xsl:if> </xsl:variable> <div align="left"> <xsl:value-of select="$idStr"/> <xsl:value-of select="name"/> - <xsl:value-of select="position"/> </div> </xsl:template> I had expected to get several lines of indented divs but instead I only get one! Am I missing something? XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
