When in template match=prod, I wanted to pull out the value "wanted text" which will change according to what prod its under. However, the structure of the <text> tags under some <prod> elements are different:

The first example, i need to select the value of "wanted text" within prod:

<prod position="1.1.1">
<entrydata columnnumber="6">
<text>wanted text - cp1</text></entrydata>
</prod>

The second example, i need to select "wanted text" from the first text tag within prod:

<prod position="1.1.1"> <entrydata columnnumber="6"> <textlist><text>wanted text - cp1</text><text>wanted text -cp2</text></textlist></entrydata> </prod>

is their one select statement that could cater for either of these situations?? I assume to remove "-cp1" i need to use the string function substring before? There will be instances when "wanted text" may have a hyphen in anyway.
