> <xsl:variable name="strRoman" as="xs:string">I. II. > III. IV. V. VI. VII. VIII. IX. X. XI. XII. XIII. XIV. > XV.</xsl:variable> there's no need to make one big string and then have to keep checking with contains and substring before, just make a list of strings <xsl:variable name="strRoman" as="xs:string*" select="('I.', 'II.', 'III.', 'IV.', 'V.', 'VI.', 'VII.', 'VIII.', 'IX.', 'X.', 'XI.', 'XII.', 'XIII.', 'XIV.' )"/> or simpler, <xsl:function name="num:roman" as="xs:string"> <xsl:param name="value" as="xs:integer"/> <xsl:number value="$value" format="I."/> </xsl:function> <xsl:variable name="strRoman" as="xs:string*" select="for $i in (1 to 19) return num:roman($i)"/> It's difficult to follow the logic of your stylesheet without seeing the input format, but from your descritption I think you just want something like the following to seelct all the head eleemnts whose first word is a roman numeral, then just test that position() != last() to insert the separator. <xsl:for-each select="$ParentInfo//div/head[substring-before(.,'')=$strRoman]"> do something with this head <xsl:if test="position() != last()"> - </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> David ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
