Subject: [xsl] Constructing complex xs:string in variable From: "Christian Roth mulberrytech-lists@xxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 9 Oct 2019 13:27:19 -0000 |
[re-sending - initial one didn't make it to the listb&?] Hello, I'm using XSLT2. I need to construct a complex string in a variable. I wanted to use XSLT instructions for this, not pure XPath. I'm struggling with coercing the result of the <xsl:variable> body to a single xs:string, not a sequence of xs:string: <xsl:variable name="var" as="xs:string"> <xsl:text>prefix</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="'part1'"/> <!-- follows more complex code producing further fragments of desired result string --> </xsl:variable> This gives me the error message (Saxon HE 9): "A sequence of more than one item is not allowed as the value of variable $var ("prefix", "part1")" Of course, I could declare the variable as xs:string+ and then use string-join( $var, '' ) on every use of $var, or create another variable that holds the concatenated result of $var. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks, Christian
