Subject: RE: [xsl] creating a string after counting charatercs From: "Ben Robb" <Ben@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2003 12:50:52 -0000 |
Bit of a fudge, but use recursion and named templates: <xsl:variable name="maxlength" value="string-length(myelement)"> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:call-template name="padLength"> <xsl:with-param name="charToPadWith" select="'_'"/> <xsl:with-param name="currentString" select="''"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="padLength"> <xsl:param name="charToPadWith"/> <xsl:param name="currentString"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="string-length($currentString) = number($maxlength)"> <xsl:value-of select="$currentString"> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:call-template name="padLength"> <xsl:with-param name="charToPadWith" select="$charToPadWith"/> <xsl:with-param name="currentString" select="concat($currentString, $charToPadWith)"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> -----Original Message----- From: jfi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 07 January 2003 12:17 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [xsl] creating a string after counting charatercs Hi, I´ve got the following problem: I want to check an attribute value for its length (e.g. 17 chars) and then create a string with 17 identical characters, like "_________________". The string-length check on my attribute works pretty well, but how do I get the string?
