Using 4XSLT, your template would look like <xsl:template name="Counter" xmlns:ft="http://namespaces.4suite.org/xpath/extensions"> <xsl:param name="list"/> <xsl:param name="currentlength" select="0"/> <xsl:if test="string($list)!=''"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="($currentlength + string-length($list[1])) < 1500"> <ft:write-file name="part1.xml" overwrite="no"> <xsl:value-of select="$list[1]"/> </ft:write-file> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <ft:write-file name="part2.xml" overwrite="no"> <xsl:value-of select="$paralist[1]"/> </ft:write-file> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:if> <xsl:call-template name="Counter"> <xsl:with-param name="list" select="$list[position()!=1]"/> <xsl:with-param name="currentlength" select="$currentlength + string-length($list[1])"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:template> Notice the "overwrite" attribute. Pretty self-explanatory. However, the default in 4XSLT is _not_ to overwrite so in this case, it's not really necessary. -- Uche Ogbuji Principal Consultant uche.ogbuji@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +1 303 583 9900 x 101 Fourthought, Inc. http://Fourthought.com 4735 East Walnut St, Ste.
