Re: finding a bracket: "{"

This is a valid XPath expression and it produces the right result using MSXML3/4 and
Saxon.

Hi,

I've got the following Element:

<Name>feeding{3adff2455fdd}</Name>

The "{" is not at a fixed position.
Now how do I get the part of the string before "{" with XSLT? 
I've tried  using the substring-before(.,'{') function, but it doesn't work, 
because "{" is sort of a control character. I've also tried writing "{" as hex 
value and as CDATA in the substring-before() function, but it still doesn't 
work.

Does anybody have an idea how to solve this problem?
