Alexander AhammerSubject: Formating numbers
Author: Alexander Ahammer

I have a small problem with the format my numbers have. I am trying to convert the numbers having a comma as a separator into ones that have a dot.

<games>
<quote1>13,30</quote1>
<quote1>3,40</quote1>
<quote1>23,50</quote1>
<quote1>3,60</quote1>
<quote1>113,70</quote1>
<quote1>3,80</quote1>
</games>

The output should be something similar to

<games>
<quote1>13.30</quote1>
<quote1>3.40</quote1>
<quote1>23.50</quote1>
<quote1>3.60</quote1>
<quote1>113.70</quote1>
<quote1>3.80</quote1>
</games>

I dont know how to do it with substring and then concat, since the numbers do not have a constant length.

I would like to add that i have tried using the following script inorder to see if this could work but i am getting the output "NaN".

<xsl:variable name="number"> 30,6 </xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="format-number($number, '##.00')"/>

Ok i have found out a way to do this. But please can somebody tell me how i would have done it with the "format-number" way of doing it.

<for-each select="_here_comes_the_number">
<xsl:variable name="Before_the_dot" select="substring-before(., ',')" />
<xsl:variable name="After_the_dot" select="substring-after(., ',')" />
<xsl:value-of select="concat($M, '.',$Y)" />
</for-each>

A more typical way of doing this is like this:

<xsl:for-each select="games/quote1">
<xsl:value-of select="format-number(translate(., ',', '.'), '##.00')"/>
</xsl:for-each>

This is what the translate function is for.

Alexander,
first, the easiest way to do that is:

<xsl:variable name="aNumber" select="translate(., ',', '.')"/>
<xsl:value-of select="format-number($aNumber, '##.00')"/>

format-number allows you to format a number the way you want (you can even use <xsl:decimal-format/> to control various aspects of how it works); but it needs to work on a *number*; and in XML "30,6" is not a number, as you must use '.' to separate decimals and not use ',', not even as a grouping separator.

Ok i get it. Of course "Translate"!

Thanks to both of you.


I must admit that this board is great concerning xslt questions ( i dont know about the other sub-boards never been there).
Great job.
