RE: [xsl] how to split word into sequence of letters

[Robby Pelssers <Robby.Pelssers@xxxxxxx>]

Little error actually in your solution.

Your solution does reassemble the string and a count on that expression would
result in 1.

So I guess you meant sth like:

declare function local:split($string as xs:string) as xs:string* {
    for $codepoint in string-to-codepoints($string) return
codepoints-to-string($codepoint)
};

Thx for the pointer though !!

But reason enough to check it out !!

Je vous en remercie.

codepoints-to-string(string-to-codepoints('abcde'))
