i have one of the attributes in xml where it is too long to put into table. I wish to do some filtering before putting it into html table.

<attribute name="address">28 thomson road,poscode=75500</attribute>


which part of my code (below) should be modified in order to select only poscode value?


<xsl:value-of select="attribute[@name='address']"/>


looking forward for u help..thanks

You will need to work with the string value somehow; seems bad design to have "poscode" coded as part of the text node, instead of exploded in the XML structure itself...

You could do something like...
<xsl:value-of select="attribute[@name='address' and contains(.,'poscode=75500']"/>

...or you can do more sophisticated checks using other XPath functions to manipulate strings.

hi, thanks for ur help. I followed exactly the way u mentioned below, there was no error when converting to html, but under the address column of the table, it will still select the whole adresss, instead of poscode number only...

Oh, sorry; the code I sent you selected an <attribute> element corresponding to a specific poscode; if you want to display the poscode value only, you can do something like:

<xsl:value-of select="substring-after(attribute[@name='address'],'poscode=')"/>
