Re: unix problems.. change of approach

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.

Seems to be a processor specific problem. The statement is correct. What
about test="string($demoValue[@value = 'valid'])" or
test="normalize-space($demoValue[@value = 'valid'])". Shorter and less
conversions in it.
