Subject: Computing string-value of nodesets From: "Taras Tielkes" <t.r.tiekes@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2000 01:23:10 +0100 |
Hi, I'd like to know the average string-length of a collection of nodes (in a nodeset). The problem is that string([nodeset]) will return the string value of the first node in the nodeset, and not the concatenated string value of all the nodes. I wonder why this decision was taken in the design process of XPath. Being a XPath newbie, I had some hopes that sum() could be used in some way for this purpose (computing "total string value" of a nodeset), but alas, it's purely numerical. So is there some way to construct a equivalent of sum(), but one that works on string values of a nodeset? Thanks in advance, Taras XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
