Re: [xsl] Substrings

[Karl Stubsjoen <kstubs@xxxxxxxxx>]

To "tokenize" is that to say I am going to split the string up by
spaces, or other delimiters?  So then, I could recursively call a
template which returns a value of nothing but passes back the
substring value of supplied string after each space until which time I
find an @ at this point I stop recursing and pass back the value.  (i
think that makes sense, and I think I can write that!)

I am using XSLT 1 with microsoft's msxml parser so exslt is not available to
me.
