This is a valid XPath expression and it produces the right result using MSXML3/4 and
Saxon.

Hi,
I've got the following Element:
<Name>feeding{3adff2455fdd}</Name>
The "{" is not at a fixed position.
Now how do I get the part of the string before "{" with XSLT?
I've tried using the substring-before(.,'{') function, but it doesn't work,
because "{" is sort of a control character. I've also tried writing "{" as hex
value and as CDATA in the substring-before() function, but it still doesn't
work.
Does anybody have an idea how to solve this problem?
Greetings, Sebastian Werner.
