Hi all, i've a problem and a question for you. I know that is possible to build xpath expression like this:

<xsl:template match="mets:div[@LABEL[^Pagina [0-9]+$]"/>

is it correct?

No, you would need <xsl:template match="mets:div[@LABEL[matches(., '^Pagina [0-9]+$')]]"/>

second question is if it's possible doing the same thing with literal value, as (a-z)or(A-Z)or (aA-zZ)? but my problem is a little bit more complicated. I must select this element with attribute:

<mets:div LABEL="Canto XL">, tha value of attribute starts with roman number I (one)and finished with L (fifty). what can i do to select all of these elements?

If you want to literally compare to a certain string then you can do that with e.g.
<xsl:template match="mets:div[@LABEL[. = 'Canto XL']]"/>
