Re: string question

How about this.

The XML
-------------------------------
   <test>
      <b310>08/773,384</b310>
      <b310>090/77332,38476</b310>
      <b310>08890/77387262,384768278392</b310>
   </test>
=============================
The XSL
--------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="test">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="b310" mode="first"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="b310" mode="first">
   PR_<xsl:value-of select="substring-before(., '/')" />
   <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="second"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="b310" mode="second">
   PR_<xsl:value-of select="substring-before(substring-after(., '/'), ',')"
/>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="third"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="b310" mode="third">
   PR_<xsl:value-of select="substring-after(substring-after(., '/'), ',')"
/>
   <br/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
============================
The output:
------------------------------------
   PR_08
   PR_773
   PR_384<br/>
   PR_090
   PR_77332
   PR_38476<br/>
   PR_08890
   PR_77387262
   PR_384768278392<br/>
