Solved

xsl:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

        <xsl:template match="/">
                <xsl:apply-templates
select="data/elem[starts-with(string(.), 'a')]"/>
        </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

output:

a123a312

Hi

Here is example:

<data>
        <elem>a123</elem>
        <elem>a312</elem>
        <elem>b123</elem>
        <elem>c321</elem>
<data>

I would like to select only

        <elem>a123</elem>
        <elem>a312</elem>

I tried

<xsl:apply-templates select="predmet[ starts-with(elem, 'a')]"/>

but I got exception

Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Can not
convert #BOOLEAN to a NodeList!

How can I achieve that template select only elements with value that starts
with 'a' ?

I know that I could select all <elem> and then check, in template that
matches <elem>, if it starts with 'a' but that would be very slow.

Thanks in advance
