Hi Matteo,

Not sure how your xml looks like. Here's a guess:

<field id="ViewState.desktop.content.runningActivities.activities.ShowTabs.tabItem.Show.content.ShowFncState.uxToShow.finder.currentFinder.ShowBasicSearchFinder.searchCriteria.criteria.subj.provMetadata.classMetadata" type="text" value="PROVINCIA" mode="read" />

Here's another guess: <field> <id>ViewState.desktop.content.runningActivities.activities.ShowTabs.tabItem.Show.content.ShowFncState.uxToShow.finder.currentFinder.ShowBasicSearchFinder.searchCriteria.criteria.subj.provMetadata.classMetadata</id> <type>text</type> <value>PROVINCIA</value> <mode>read</mode> </field>

In both scenario's it is quite straightforward to use a variable, depending on what your needs are. For instance:

<xsl:variable name="provider" select=" '.provMetadata.classMetadata' " />

In the XPath you could do the following:

<xsl:value-of select=" field / id [ contains ( . , $provider ) ] " />

which will select all id nodes having a text content that contains the string part as set in the variable. The next variant will do the same for the attribute version:

<xsl:value-of select=" field [ contains ( @id , $provider ) ] " />
