Re: Long string - inserting a space after every 10 cha

Hi Allan,
  Sorry for late response. Following is another
solution to the problem -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" encoding="UTF-8"
indent="yes"/>
	
<xsl:template match="/name">
  <xsl:call-template name="process-string">
    <xsl:with-param name="string-subset" select="."/>
    <xsl:with-param name="n" select="10"/>
  </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
	
<xsl:template name="process-string">
  <xsl:param name="string-subset"/>
  <xsl:param name="n"/>
  
  <xsl:value-of select="substring($string-subset, 1,
$n)"/>
  <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
  <xsl:variable name="strlen"
select="string-length(substring($string-subset, $n +
1, string-length($string-subset)))"/>
  <xsl:if test="$strlen > 9">
     <xsl:call-template name="process-string">
	<xsl:with-param name="string-subset"
select="substring($string-subset, $n + 1,
string-length($string-subset))"/>
	<xsl:with-param name="n" select="10"/>
     </xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:if>
  <xsl:if test="not($strlen > 9)">
     <xsl:value-of select="substring($string-subset,
$n + 1, string-length($string-subset))" />
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
	
</xsl:stylesheet>

I have used a recursive template..

Regards,
Mukul
