Hi
Here is example:
<data>
<elem>a123</elem>
<elem>a312</elem>
<elem>b123</elem>
<elem>c321</elem>
<data>
I would like to select only
<elem>a123</elem>
<elem>a312</elem>
I tried
<xsl:apply-templates select="predmet[ starts-with(elem, 'a')]"/>
but I got exception
Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Can not
convert #BOOLEAN to a NodeList!
How can I achieve that template select only elements with value that starts
with 'a' ?
I know that I could select all <elem> and then check, in template that
matches <elem>, if it starts with 'a' but that would be very slow.
Thanks in advance
