Try these 2 templates to get fixed width strings: <xsl:template name="L-pad"> <xsl:param name="padChar"> </xsl:param> <xsl:param name="padVar"/> <xsl:param name="length"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="string-length($padVar) < $length"> <xsl:call-template name="L-pad"> <xsl:with-param name="padChar" select="$padChar"/> <xsl:with-param name="padVar" select="concat($padChar,$padVar)"/> <xsl:with-param name="length" select="$length"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="substring($padVar,string-length($padVar) - $length + 1)"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="R-pad"> <xsl:param name="padChar"/> <xsl:param name="padVar"/> <xsl:param name="length"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="string-length($padVar) < $length"> <xsl:call-template name="R-pad"> <xsl:with-param name="padChar" select="$padChar"/> <xsl:with-param name="padVar" select="concat($padVar,$padChar)"/> <xsl:with-param name="length" select="$length"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="substring($padVar,1,$length)"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> for more details try this link: http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/padding.html Cheers, Raj --- Michael Kay <mhk@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I have worked on generation of a flat file from > xml using > > XSL.
