Michael wrote ============== There are no built-in functions for parsing dates in non-standard formats (as distinct from formatting them), but you can do it easily enough using regular expressions and xsl:analyze-string. The precise solution depends on a precise definition of your input format, which you haven't given us. ===== Well Michael this is a new project I am working on with very fewer samples. Though I have cross checked that date will not be available in the input @version attribute so the default 01 will work. So the inputs will be as shown below (three character Month followed by ". " and four digit year): <chapter version="Feb. 2000"/> <chapter version="Oct. 2006"> And should be outputted as <chapter version="20000201"/> and <chapter version="20001001"/> Apart from this I need to ignore attributes values with "Update" (<chapter version="Dec. 2003 Update">) which I will be able to handle with string check (contains() function) Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
