Re: [xsl] String manipulation in Xslt 1.0

["Prady Prady prady.chin@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

*Input 1: *

<Payments>
<Payment>
<invoiceDetails>order1#amt1;order2#amt2;</invoiceDetails>
</Payment>
</Payments>

*Output1:  Should be  like the below : remove  #amt1   #amt2 *
* -> Only want order1;order2*

<Payments>
<Payment>
<invoiceDetails>order1;order2</invoiceDetails>
</Payment>
</Payments>

*Input 2: *
<Payments>
<Payment>
<invoiceDetails>order1#amt1</invoiceDetails>
</Payment>
</Payments>

*Output2:*
  <Payments>
<Payment>
<invoiceDetails>order1</invoiceDetails>
</Payment>
</Payments>
