Bob,
We need to know more.... At 01:31 PM 9/1/2006, you wrote: I have (successfully!) pulled some content from an outside file (and hidden it in the variable $matcher). I now want to look through my input file to see if that content is in any <title> child, anywhere, so I know if it's worth carrying on processing for this content. But By "that content is in any title child, anywhere", do you mean the string value of $matcher equals the string value of any title? Your equality test should check that. If you mean "the value of matcher is a substring of the value of any title anywhere", you'll have to be more creative: if test="//title[contains(.,$matcher)]" tests true if there exists any title node whose string value contains the string value of $matcher. Remember that whitespace in your title values, or in $matcher, can throw this off too ... in which case the normalize-space() function comes to the rescue. Ask again if this isn't enough to get you there. Cheers, Wendell
