Hi, I want to loop through a string. Say I have a variable with 15 characters in length.

var1 = ab-defghijklmno

I want to output it in a table:

<table>
<tr>
<td>a</td>
<td>b</td>
<td bgcolor="black">&nbsp;</td>
<td>e</td>
etc

I want it to loop through the string, if it comes across a '-' character write a different td output. Sounds simple, but I cannot do it! Any help much appreciated! Thanks

Something that may be useful is...

<xsl:template match="/">
<table>
<tr>
<xsl:call-template name="explodeString">
<xsl:with-param name="txt" select="'ab-defg'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</tr>
</table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="explodeString">
<xsl:param name="txt"/>
<xsl:param name="pos" select="1"/>

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="substring($txt, $pos, 1) = '-'">
<td>something special</td>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="substring($txt, $pos, 1)"/>
</td>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:if test="$pos &lt; string-length($txt)">
<xsl:call-template name="explodeString">
<xsl:with-param name="txt" select="$txt"/>
<xsl:with-param name="pos" select="$pos+1"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

Using the same files above, esp .xml

I want to output a number in the top left hand corner (like a crossword), eg,
1 Across (4) = 'Read me', refers to a grid location where a little 1 would show in that location:

SUPPOSED TO BE PART OF TOP-LEFT OF CROSSWORD
------------------------------------------------------
1 | | | |\\\\\\\|2 |
| | | |\\\\\\\| |
B | O | O | K |\\\\\\\| |
| | | |\\\\\\\| |
-------------------------------------------------------

See where the 1 & 2 are. I need to create them, I have a 15 by 15 grid, each lines is displayed by a different rowVariable (created by substringing a 225 length allAnswer variable every 15 characters).

Is there XPATH/XSL expressions, that would generate these please?

Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

Sorry; general XSLT questions are better asked (and answered) on the xsl-list at mulberrytech.com

Thanks,
Minollo
