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:
then you can use in the XSLT stylesheet:

        <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.
