This doesn't look like an ideal job for XSLT, which generally covers up those things. You could write an extension function for it. If the list of characters is suitably small, you could do something like: <xsl:variable name="charnum"><xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$char = 'A'">65</xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$char = 'B'">66</xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$char = 'C'">67</xsl:when> ... <xsl:otherwise>-1</xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose></xsl:variable> Why do you want this, anyway? Perhaps your larger task can be accomplished in a better way. .................David Marston XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
