extract text using xslt

Question

one of my elements from xml is an image and

when i do <xsl:value-of select="MyImage" /> it outputs this as the data

<img alt="" border=0 src="/PublishingImage/myPic.jpg" style="border:0px solid">

using xslt can i extract just the src bit so that i have /PublishingImage/myPic.jpg without the quotes.

<xsl:value-of select="img/@src" />

for a string inside an xml node try this

<xsl:value-of select="substring-before(substring-after(MyImage, 'src=&quot;'), '&quot;')" />
