unix string length
Dear people,
I have now decided that i will change my approach to solve this. I only need
your help.
I have xml structure like ..
<demoValues>
    <demoValue value = 'valid'>
        valid value
    </demoValue>
    <demoValue value = 'invalid'>
        invalid value
    </demoValue>
</demoValues>
The problem is  i need to set a variable to true or false based on the
following criteria.
if i find a  demovalue element with value attribute = "valid" and which is
not empty,
then the variable isCorrectValue should be "yes"

I do not want to use the approach as in ..

>>><xsl:variable name="isCorrectValue">
> > >>>    <xsl:if test="not(string-length($demoValue[@value =
'valid'])=0)">
> > >>>      <xsl:text>yes</xsl:text>
> > >>>     </xsl:if>
> > >>>    </xsl:variable>
Because this fails in UNIX.
so i thought i use something like.
<xsl:variable name="isCorrectValue"
select="normalize-space($demoValue[@value = 'valid'])"/>
which would give my "isCorrectValue" a boolean true or false.
this is not working..
If anyone can correct the above statement to get the boolean value as i
wanted , then  string($isCorrectValue) will give me literal true or false,
which i can make use later.

Can anyone help me please.
