XSLT translate query

HTML & CSS
1

I have the following code:
<xsl:if test=“$category = ‘FruitVeg’ and category = ‘POT’ and fType != ‘GREEN’”>
<xsl:value-of select=“productName”/> Organic Fresh
</xsl:if>

The value of productName in this case is either ‘tomato - 12a’ or ‘tomato - 1k’. It could be anything not just tomato but the ’ - 12a’ or ’ - 1k’ endings are a constant.

I want to make the value of productName return hiding the ’ - 12a’ or ’ - 1k’ endings.

I can do this for one of the possible values by coding as:
<xsl:if test=“$category = ‘FruitVeg’ and category = ‘POT’ and fType != ‘GREEN’”>
<xsl:value-of select=“translate(productName,’ - 12a’,‘’)”/> Organic Fresh
</xsl:if>

How do I do the translate for both possible values (an OR statement) or am I barking up the wrong tree? What would be the best way of doing this?

Thanks

If there isn’t going to be any other “-” in the string, you can simply use the substring-before() function to get everything before the “-”. If there are going to be other “-”, with the last one still being constant, you may use the substring-before() function in conjunction with this template.
