Hello Stylus Team (and Alberto)

I have 2 quick questions for you:

1 pertaining to time formulas. I have the following which is in total seconds:

<duration>334</duration>

Ive been trying to convert it to a mm:ss output but cant seem to get my head around it (math was never my strong point). Ive been trying with a :

<xsl:attribute name="length"> <xsl:value-of select="number((tracklength)div '60')"/>
</xsl:attribute>

but obviously this is going to give me the ouput divided by 60 which is 5.56666 when i would like to get "5:34". Any tips?

And the second question has to do with dates where i would like to include an '/' to divide things by:
<outputdate>20071127</outputdate>

to look like 2007/11/27

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you again for your help~!

Hi Mike,
a quick & dirty method that comes to my mind is this:

<xsl:variable name="seconds" expr="number(tracklength mod 60)"/>
<xsl:variable name="minutes" expr="number((tracklength - $seconds) div 60)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="concat($minutes, ':', $seconds)"/>

and

<xsl:value-of select="concat( substring(outputdate, 1, 4), '/', substring(outputdate, 5, 2), '/', substring(outputdate, 7, 2))"/>

Hope this helps,
Alberto

Hi Alberto,

Thank you for the quick reply-. I kept getting an error:
XTSE0090: Attribute @expr is not allowed on element <xsl:variable> ?

As for your date formatting: PERFECT ;)

It is strange that @expr would not work and i tried this::

<xsl:attribute name="length">
<xsl:variable name="seconds" expr="number(tracklength mod 60)"/>
<xsl:variable name="minutes" expr="number((tracklength - $seconds) div 60)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="concat($minutes, ':', $seconds)"/>
</xsl:attribute>

Use select instead of expr.
