Anybody have any thoughts > on how to do this? still slow but you can avoid the "not very likely to occur" problem by first translating all uppercase to (say) A then using substring-before to split on A then using substring so if $x is your original string <xsl:variable name="y" select="translate($x,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA')"/> <xsl:if test="contains($y,'A')"> <xsl:variable name="a" select="substring-before($y,'A')"/> first bit = <xsl:value-of select="$a"/> second bit = <xsl:value-of select="substring-after($x,$a)"/> recurse using $x='second bit' to split up further f necessary David ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
