If we don't care about preserving the commas, we could just translate them to spaces to start with, and simply check for the space after that. Then it's not dependent on a space being followed by a comma. Something like this: <xsl:variable name="trans" select="translate(., 'abcdehijklmnorstuvyz{|HIJKA@,', 'aaaaaeeeeiiiioooooEEEEAA ')" /> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="contains($trans, ' ')"> <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($trans, ' ')" /> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="$trans" /> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> ~ Scott -----Original Message----- From: Abel Braaksma [mailto:abel.online@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2007 11:12 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] select first word Florent Georges wrote: > Abel Braaksma wrote: > > >> <xsl:value-of select=" >> translate( >> substring-before( >> substring-before(.,' '), ', '), >> $from, $to)" /> >> > > If I am right (if I remember correctly) the input doesn't always have > space or comma.

But the OP has, I believe (from observation), only XSLT 1.0 and replace() is introduced as per XSLT 2.0. The substring-before with the comma can be removed: if there's a comma it is followed by a space. Just add the comma to the translate function at the end, then it will be removed. For the rest I'd probably choose something like this: <!-- include comma, which is not matched, thus it will be deleted --> <xsl:variable name="from" select="'abcdehijklmnorstuvyz{|HIJKA@,'" /> <xsl:variable name="to" select="'aaaaaeeeeiiiioooooEEEEAA'" /> <!-- with space --> <xsl:template match="le[contains(., ' ')]"> <xsl:value-of select="translate(substring-before(., ' '), $from, $to)" /> </xsl:template> <!-- without space --> <xsl:template match="le"> <xsl:value-of select="translate(., $from, $to)" /> </xsl:template> The second one is the more generic one and will be called by the processor if there's no space in the content of the <le> element.
