But this seems to work for the examples you provided, assuming the RNP is the value of the context item: if (starts-with(., '0')) then let $shift := xs:integer(substring(., 3, 1)) return xs:double(substring(., 2, 1)) div math:pow(10, $shift) else substring(., 1, 2) || '.' || substring(., 3)}"> Be seeing you, norm -- Norm Tovey-Walsh <ndw@xxxxxxxxxx> https://norm.tovey-walsh.com/ > The people I distrust most are those who want to improve our lives but > have only one course of action.--Frank Herbert [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature which had a name of signature.asc]
