Perl can do this as well ala ( $var .= "0" x 2; ), but in Java you probably have to use a for loop String var = "" for( int x=0; x < 2; x++ ) { String += "0"; } I personally would use java and store the strings in your xml document, but there is probably a way to do what you want in pure XSLT with a <xsl:for-each> that would loop n times for n zeros, you could probably even have a template that does this and takes the number of times to loop as an <xsl:param> Good luck. -matt XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
