Is anyone aware of a simple method (using XSLT) for incrementing a string? I need to start with AA and potentially go all the way up to ZZ e.g AA, AB, AC, AD.....ZZ.

Cheers.

The stylesheet below is called from another stylesheet and so the Java Class does not reside on www.vc.com (fictional address). Can anyone please tell me how to resolve this issue, but also how to resolve the original question without resorting to Java Script?

//Function vc:IncrementString(string)
//
function IncrementString(str:String)
{
var Char1 :Char;
Char1 = str.charAt(0);
Char1++;
return Char1.ToString();
}

]]>
</msxsl:script>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Using XQuery or XSLT 2.0, you can run this XPath expression:
codepoints-to-string(
for $ch in string-to-codepoints("AA")
return $ch+1)

Thank you for your help and sorry for the big omission. I should have said I need to use 1.0. Thanks again.
