Re: Xsl pattern help...

Chris,

Thanks for the information.  I apologize for not being completely clear, I 
failed to say that I needed this as XPath pattern to be used in VB.Net.

Such as, selectSingleNode([pattern goes here])

I didn't mean for it to be used with an XSL stylesheet.  My bad.

It doesn't seem that name() or other node queries work in XPath expressions. 
 Is there a way of doing what I want in an XPath expression?

Thanks again,

King Wilder
