Re: [xsl] Count number of dots in the given string

[Geert Josten <Geert.Josten@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

<xsl:variable name="str" select="'MSH-12.2.3'" />

<xsl:variable name="nrdots" select="string-length($str) - string-length(translate($str, '.', ''))" />

or

<xsl:variable name="nrdots" select="string-length(translate($str, translate($str, '.', ''), ''))" />

Cheers,
Geert
