Hi Ben,

I suggest you use the substring() function in your test.

something like 
<xsl:template match="entry">
 <xsl:if test="substring(string,start,length)='foo'">
	<xsl:apply-templates/>
 </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

you'll have to change what your 'string' is, and what foo is, but that should work for ya.

cheers,
Isaac

Subject:  Sorting alphabetical entries.



	Hi!

	I have the following XML structure:

	<entry>
		<title></title>
			....
	</entry>

	I have many entries. Let's say I want to limit my output to only those 
entries which contain titles starting with the letter 'A'.

	I'm assuming it would look something like this:

	<xsl:template match="entry">
   		<xsl:if test="????">
		        	<xsl:apply-templates/>
		</xsl:if>
	</xsl:template>

	So, what the heck is my test, in this instance? Doubtlessly, I'm thinking 
waaaay too hard on this subject, and have missed something obvious.

--->Ben
