Hi all, Some time ago, I asked nearly this same question, but phrased my question incorrectly. I got a great answer for that question from Ken Holman which answered the question I asked, but not the one I should have asked. What I really want to do is reorganize strings that contain, for example "(Mrs),", " (Dr)," and " (senior),". (There is a space in front of each that also needs to be removed during the reorganization.) Such that: <Person>Jones (senior), John</Person> becomes <Person>Jones, John (senior)</Person> But only when the <Person> element contains the substring "),"; all other <Person>elements should not be touched For instance, <Person>Smith, Ralph J.</Person> Would remain unchanged. Ken gave me: <xsl:value-of select="replace(., '.*(\([a-zA-Z]+\)).*', '$1' )"/> because I had asked the question incorrectly, which gives me <Person>(senior)</Person> when he answered my misphrased question Thanks, Mark
