 You need to use a tokenizing functionality to solve this problem. You
can use an EXSLT extension for this.
Following is a working solution for this problem:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:str="http://exslt.org/strings"
exclude-result-prefixes="str"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title/>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<xsl:variable name="actors"
select="str:tokenize(Items/Item/Actors,'|')" />
<xsl:variable name="actorsrole"
select="str:tokenize(Items/Item/Actorsrole,'|')" />
<xsl:for-each select="$actors">
<xsl:variable name="x" select="position()" />
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="$actorsrole[position() = $x]" />
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
