Re: [xsl] parsing text

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

if the current node contains the date then you can do

Q<xsl:value-of select="ceiling(substring-before(.,'/') div 4)"/>

assuming (from your 11/26/2001 example) that your date is in the rather
strange non monotonic US month/day/year order.
