Hi Auguste, > In the xml-schema file for this instance document i fixed the > maximum length of the elements "string" and "integer" to say: 5 Your first problem is that XSLT/XPath doesn't have access to the post-schema-validation infoset (PSVI), so the stylesheet doesn't know that the maximum length of the two elements needs to be 5. Getting hold of that information is not particularly straight-forward, and a different question. > I wrote a xslt-file to transform the xml- to an ascii-file.The > problem ist that: i want in the ascii-file the maximum length of > each element to be reach in this way: > - if the element is a string or derived from it i fill it with space > to reach the maximum length(after it) > - if it is an integer i write "0" prior to it. > For the example document beyond the result should be like: > "xml 00123" but i always became it this way:"xml123" You can pad a string within 5 spaces with: substring(concat($string, ' '), 1, 5) You can pad an integer within 5 0s with: format-number($integer, '00000') If the length can vary (which would be the case if you were retrieving it from the schema document) then you need a template for constructing the string. If you have a good idea of the maximum length it could possibly be, you can create a string of that length and substring it as desired to get the length you need. Otherwise, you might have a look at the str:padding template from http://www.exslt.org/str/functions/padding for ideas about how to build it. I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
