I have a date coming from database in this form:  yyyy - mm - dd
But i want to format it in my xsl document to become dd/mm/yy.

How can i achieve this.

Can anyone assist me?


hello,

assumed you have got elements like <olddate>yyyy - mm - dd</olddate>

something like


<xsl:template match="olddate"> <date> <xsl:value-of select="substring(.,3,2)" />/<xsl:value-of select="substring(.,13,2)" />/<xsl:value-of select="substring(.,8,2)" /> </date> </xsl:template>

should work.


substring(string, nr1, nr2) returns the substring of string, starting at nr1 with length nr2.

(Jeni probably provided a more elegant solution ;) )

cheers, Markus
