 David has mentioned Saxon's tokenize function. An extension function is necessary because (as you have discovered) string-processing really isn't XSLT's forte. XSLT 2 will have facilities for this. Also, this job can be done by another tool in a pre-process. For example, a SAX parser could be enhanced to do this -- then you'd have the full string-processing capabilities of the host language (Java or whatever). Simon St. Laurent has done work on what he calls "Regular Fragmentations", based on this approach and is useful for this kind of thing. (Google is your friend. :-) Good luck, Wendell At 12:32 PM 4/10/2003, you wrote: Can anyone think of a better way, especially a way of splitting up without the need for a second pass? What I'd really like is a trivial way to make xsl treat the string as a node list split at whitespace, but I suspect that that isn't possible! ====================================================================== Wendell Piez mailto:wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mulberry Technologies, Inc. http://www.mulberrytech.com 17 West Jefferson Street Direct Phone: 301/315-9635 Suite 207 Phone: 301/315-9631 Rockville, MD 20850 Fax: 301/315-8285 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mulberry Technologies: A Consultancy Specializing in SGML and XML ====================================================================== XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
