Given

<foo>
  <bar baz="Hello, World!">
</foo>

How do I all but the last 4 characters of @baz? One of my attempts was:

/foo/bar/@baz[substring( ., 0, -4 )]

    Use:

    substring(/foo/bar/@baz, string-length(/foo/bar/@baz)-3) 
    

    Do note the 3 in the expression.

    The following is wrong:

    substring(/foo/bar/@baz, string-length(/foo/bar/@baz)-4) 
    

    because this returns the last 5 characters of the string value of the baz attribute.
