Hello,
The regular expression for names that start with A - G is
^[A-G]\w+ but using it in the XSLT stylesheet depends on the structure of the input XML document. For example if you must process only elements with employees having names starting with A - G in an XML file like:
Code: Select all
<all>
<emp id="emp01">
<first_name>FirstName</first_name>
<last_name>LastName</last_name>
</emp>
...
</all>
then you can use in the XSLT stylesheet:
Code: Select all
<xsl:template match="emp[matches(first_name, '^[A-G]\w+')]">
...
</xsl:template>

In XSLT 1.0 you can use for example the
regular expression module of the EXSLT library.
