$like$ operator in XSL
LIKE keyword?
[108 byte] By [Yuenan Yang] at [2007-11-9 14:54:48] 
Is there a $like$ operator in XSL, which can do a 'like' search, like SQL's
LIKE keyword?

I would use JScript's String.match(rgExp) to do that.
<xsl:if test=...> can be used to do that

Yuenan,I'm sorry I wasn't clearer. The XPath 'contains' function is very similar
to the SQL 'Like' operator.

The question is, in XSL (http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl),We can use
<xsl:for-each select="person[@firstname $iqe$ 'yuenan']" order-by="lastname">,
is there a solution like,
<xsl:for-each select="person[@firstname $like$ 'uen']" order-by="lastname">
?

Yuenan,Final answer (sorry, couldn't resist). AFAIK, not in
http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl without script.
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform does allow it...
Sorry,
