Re: splitting a string at ,

The following XSLT gives you what you want...

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">


<xsl:variable name="string_Comma_Delimited">a, b, c, d, e, f,
g</xsl:variable>

<xsl:template match="/">
 <table>
 <xsl:call-template name="parseString">
  <xsl:with-param name="list" select="$string_Comma_Delimited"/>
 </xsl:call-template>
 </table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="parseString">
<xsl:param name="list"/>

<xsl:if test="contains($list, ',')">
 <tr>
  <td><xsl:value-of select="substring-before($list, ',')"/></td>
 </tr>
 <xsl:call-template name="parseString">
  <xsl:with-param name="list" select="substring-after($list, ', ')"/>
 </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>

</xsl:template>

The preceding gives you the result:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>a</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>b</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>c</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>d</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>e</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>f</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Keep in mind that if there is not a space after each comma delimiter then
you will need to remove the space from the substring-after function like so:

substring-after($list, ',')

Best regards,

M.
