 I've got an element like this: Absolutely. Below I've given two answers, one using substrings (supported in both XSLT 1.0 and 2.0) and one using replace() (supported only in XSLT 2.0) ... but I recommend that you use substrings and *not* replace() because if the $old string has any regular expression pattern characters then you'll get unexpected results. Another problem with replace() is that it replaces all strings, not just the first. So, all things considered, just use substring-before() and substring-after(). I hope this helps. . . . . . . . . . . Ken T:\ftemp>type paul.xml <box:base-file-name xmlns:box="urn:x-box">C:/test10/user/server/logs/server.log</box:base-file-name> T:\ftemp>type paul.xsl
