Identity transformation XSLT

I have an incoming XML document. I just need to modify value of one element example <ID> element in this below incoming XML document. I basically need to check for element called <ID> if the value is without any hyphen it will take as it is and if the value contains hyphen(-) then i need to take the value before hyphen (-) ex- 4314141 Incoming XML document:

<Message>
  <ID>4314141-324234</ID>
  <EMAIL>abc</EMAIL>
</Message>

I am using this below XSL to do do this but it is not working as expected. XSL:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
 xmlns:dp="http://www.datapower.com/extensions" 
 xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
 extension-element-prefixes="dp" 
 exclude-result-prefixes="dp"  >
  <xsl:variable name="uuid" select="dp:variable('var://context/txn/uuid')" />
 <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/ID">
    <xsl:copy>

            <ID><xsl:value-of select="substring-before($ID, ' -')" /></ID>

        <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ID"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Let me know how i can do this.

Just use this template overriding the identity rule:

  <xsl:template match="ID/text()[contains(., '-')]">
    <xsl:value-of select="substring-before(., '-')"/>
  </xsl:template>

Here is the complete transformation:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
 <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

  <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="ID/text()[contains(., '-')]">
    <xsl:value-of select="substring-before(., '-')"/>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

when applied on the provided XML document:

<Message>
    <ID>4314141-324234</ID>
    <EMAIL>abc</EMAIL>
</Message>

the wanted, correct result is produced:

<Message>
   <ID>4314141</ID>
   <EMAIL>abc</EMAIL>
</Message>

without any hyphen it will take as it is

This will do your identity-copy template.

if the value contains hyphen(-) then i need to take the value before hyphen (-)

<xsl:template match="ID[contains(., '-')]">
    <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:value-of select="substring-before(., '-')" />
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Friendly advice: Please be carefull with / in your matching patterns.
