Heya guys,

I'm a noob when it comes to XSLT and i need hints to solve the following problem:

I have the equivalent to this XML:

<animal>
<mamal type="Dog" eyecolor="Brown"/>
<mamal type="Human" eyecolor="Blue / Green / Brown"/>
<mamal ........ />
</animal>

Well, i need to get every mamal and output it like this:

The mamals of the specie Dog have Blue eyes
The mamals of the specie Human have Blue eyes
The mamals of the specie Human have Green eyes
The mamals of the specie Human have Brown eyes
...

So basically i have to split the eyecolor attribute according to the slashes a have one line for every eye color.

Can this be done?

P.S.: I'm no biologist so forgive me the errors in the example. :)

Hi Paulo,
if you are using XSLT 2.0 you can use tokenize(); with XSLT 1.0, you will have to build a recursive template that uses substring-before. Have a look at this post for an example: http://www.stylusstudio.com/SSDN/default.asp?action=9&fid=48&read=6767
