Subject: Re: [xsl] format-number() issue From: "G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2013 10:15:08 -0400 |
I'm trying to use format-number like this:
<xsl:variable name="unitid" select="lower-case(/ead/archdesc/did/unitid)"/> <xsl:variable name="number" select="substring($unitid, 3)" /> <xsl:value-of select="format-number($number, '0000')"/>
I've seen many examples online of using a variable in the first spot with format-number, but I keep getting a validation error, "Required item type of first argument of format-number() is numeric; supplied value has item type xs:string."
I've tried sticking as="xs:integer" in <xsl:variable name="number"> and adding the xs namespace, but then I get this error, "Required item type of value of variable $number is xs:integer; supplied value has item type xs:string".
I can't make $unitid an integer, as it has alpha characters in it (which I remove in $number).
Can someone point out my errors or give me a hint?
