Hello,

I have a node attribute captured to a string analogous to:

="<a target="_top" href="..\external content\High Level Case.doc#high_case">High Case</a>"

from which I am attempting to isolate:

..\external content\High Level Case.doc#high_case

The pattern of the attributes are consistent (always start ="<a target="_top" href=" and always end </a>").

Any help here is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Something like this:

<xsl:variable name="quot">"</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="hrefmarker"
  select="concat('href=', $quot)"/>
<xsl:variable name="s1" select="substring-after(@attribute, $hrefmarker)"/>
<xsl:variable name="s2" select="substring-before($s, $quot)"/>
