Abel,

thanks for these, I'll investigate and see how I go.

In this case the data is coming out of a FileMaker database, so I've just got to hope that they improve the situation in the future. They're using the Xalan C++ implementation so anything like EXSLT or XSLT2 seems to be a way off unfortunately. Because I'm using the built in XSLT processor, I'm stuck with their choice until I program my own processing functions, and that's not likely to happen in the near future.

Thanks to all who helped out.

Cheers,
Nick

Yes, I agree. The source I have no control over, other than to submit error reports and hope for the best. It's coming out of an app where I don't control the output.

But having investigated this I came to the same conclusion, and I'll submit some reports about it and see what happens.
Nicholas, if you draw a blank on your error reports, i.e., if you *have* to remove the whitespace yourself, consider the following three options:

1. The FAQ entry: http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/ N8321.html#d11899e830 2. One of the two solutions below, which is rather straightforward, the second admittedly being a bit obfuscated while trying to minimize the code 3. XSLT 2 (convince your bosses to upgrade): replace($text, '\s*([^ \s]+)\s*', '$1')
