There isn't a tokenising function built-in to XPath 1.0. You have several options, though: Since you know the format, you can pull out the strings one at a time: <xsl:variable name="weekday" select="substring-before($day, ' ')" /> <xsl:variable name="monthday" select="substring-before(substring-after($day, ' '), ' ')" /> <xsl:variable name="month" select="substring-before( substring-after( substring-after($day, ' '), ' '), ' ')" /> <xsl:variable name="year" select="substring-after( substring-after( substring-after($day, ' '), ' '), ' ')" /> Or you could write your own (or copy from e.g. http://www.exslt.org/str/functions/tokenize/str.tokenize.template.xsl) recursive function to split the string into tokens. Or you could use an extension function, if your processor has one, to do this. For example, Saxon has saxon:tokenize() and Xalan has xalan:tokenize().
