thanks for the clues... unfortunately, everything is variable (length and punctuation). I'll try your and Michael's solution and report back on the progess. Once again, thanks.

Assuming that your strings are always of the form: DD/DDD,DDD (where D is a digit) you could use: PR_<xsl:value-of select="b310" /> PR_<xsl:value-of select="substring(b310, 1, 2)" /> PR_<xsl:value-of select="substring(b310, 4, 3)" /> PR_<xsl:value-of select="substring(b310, 8, 3)" /> If the lengths of the different parts of the strings can vary, then you need to use substring-before() and substring-after(): PR_<xsl:value-of select="b310" /> PR_<xsl:value-of select="substring-before(b310, '/')" /> PR_<xsl:value-of select="substring-before( substring-after(b310, '/'), ',')" /> PR_<xsl:value-of select="substring-after( substring-after(b310, '/'), ',')" /> If there can be more parts to the string, then you need a recursive solution. If that's the case, then can you write a general pattern for the string, and we'll try to work something out? I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
