Re: [xsl] Seek an XPath expression which concatenates an arbitrary number of strings

Indeed, and if we're into XSLT let's also not forget xsl:apply-templates. (How
could we.)

Cheers, Wendell

Two more similar short options apart from the simple rewrite "binary-value =>
string-join()":

    <xsl:sequence select="binary-value/text()"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="binary-value" separator=""/>

Have fun!

string-join( binary-value,'')

Hi Folks,

Eek! A basic question...

I have an XML document containing an arbitrary number of <binary-value>
elements:

<Document>
    <binary-value>0100</binary-value>
    <binary-value>11</binary-value>
    <binary-value>1010001</binary-value>
    ...
</Document>

I want an XPath expression which concatenates the binary values into one long
string:

0100111010001...

I thought this would work:

concat(for $i in //binary-value return $i)

but that gives an error, "Cannot find a 1-argument function named concat"

What is the correct XPath, please?
