Subject: Fixed-length String Output From: "Deirdre O'Brien" <ddo@xxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2000 16:27:36 +0100 |
Hi, I am trying to transform an incoming XML message to a format that will be acceptable to our existing software package. However the existing package excepts data on a fixed-length basis. This is the way we wish to continue. I was wondering is there a way to force the output of select statement to take up a certain amount of space. Not all of the elements will be numbers. What I need is something like the format-number function but for strings. I taught maybe there might be an attribute in value-of that would do it, but there doesn't appear to be. Is there anything currently available in XSLT that would do this for me? I am using the Xalan processor. Thanks for the help I have received so far. I have ordered a copy of "XSLT Programmer's Reference". This hopefully will enable me to answer my own questions. Thanks again, Deirdre O'Brien ___________________________________________________________________________ _____ Deirdre O'Brien QAD Ireland, Hamilton House, National Technological Park, Limerick, Ireland.
