[xsl] [string to node]

[Aditya Sakhuja <aditya.sakhuja@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am looking to convert a string to a single node type. Using Xalan C
1.10 processor.

for eg:

<xsl:variable name="test-phone">
<xsl:choose>
 <xsl:when test="($tempPhone) and ($tempPhone!= 'Visit Web Site') and
($tempPhone!= 'All') and ($tempPhone!= 'A') and ($tempPhone!= 'B')">
  <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space($tempPhone)"/>
 </xsl:when>
 <xsl:otherwise>
   <xsl:value-of select="//ads"/>
 </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>

What I have in test-phone is a string. on which I cannot use count($test-phone).

What is the best way to have the count() ? I am trying to get a node
from the string, that would work.

Thanks in advance,
Aditya Sakhuja
