You should look at the working drafts of XPath 2.0 and Functions and Operators. http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath20/#id-predicates http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#string.match The XSL Working Group intends to accomplish the same thing, but the regex name test would go into a predicate. .................David Marston
