Hi Dave b It looks like the list is being helpful to you. There is something you could do in the future to be helpful to the list: focus your subject lines on the topic of the question. In this case, "strip directory info from variable" would have been a far better subject line than "another beginner question - strip directory info from variableb. This is because many people refer to the list archives and third-party list archives by scanning subject lines to find discussions that may help them. By making the subject line about you and not about your topic you make reuse of the discussion much more difficult. It seems to me that many people may have your question and this discussion would be helpful to them, too. Thanks for making a moment to think about subject lines before your future posts to XSL-list. b Tommie > On Oct 13, 2018, at 9:49 PM, Dave Lang emaildavelang@xxxxxxxxx <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi again everyone - back with another beginner question. > > I'm working in Oxygen and am using Saxon. > > I'm searching through a bunch of xml files in search of jpg names.
