Hi Folks, I need an XPath expression that returns true if the <MI> element is empty or, if it's not empty, it contains an uppercase letter of the English alphabet followed by a period. For example, this <MI> element is good: <MI></MI> As is this: <MI>H.</MI> This XPath seems to work fine: if (MI eq '') then true() else if (exists(MI)) then matches(MI, '^[A-Z]\.$') else true() Is there a better (shorter, simpler, more robust) XPath expression? /Roger
