Re: [xsl] Interesting issue

Hello Nischal,

this is really an extreme demand. I see only this string:

<data>SudhakarJalli030719751809Bigbenddrmilpitasca95035Rajeevkasarabada032719751788lowerbenddrivesanjoseca94523</data>

Where do you know from (or where should the XSLT processor or JavaScript 
know from), where to divide the strings in substrings? There seems to be 
no delimiter and no fixed number of characters.

In every case the logic you implemented in JS can be implemented in XSLT 
with a recursive template:

<xsl:template match="/Customers">
  <Customers>
    <xsl:call-template name="customer">
      <xsl:with-param name="data" select="data"/>
    </xsl:call-template>
  </Customers>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="customer">
  <xsl:param name="data" select="''"/>
  <xsl:if test="string(data)">
    <Customer>
      <FirstName>
        <xsl:value-of select="substring($data, 1, 15)"/>
      </FirstName>
      <LastName>
        <xsl:value-of select="substring($data, 16, 1)"/>
      </LastName>
      <Street>
        <xsl:value-of select="substring($data, 17, 1)"/>
      </Street>
      <City>
        <xsl:value-of select="substring($data, 18, 1)"/>
      </City>
      ...
      and so on
      ...
    </Customer>
    <xsl:call-template name="customer">
      <xsl:with-param name="data" select="substring($data, 20)"/>
    </xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

But as I said there is no logic for the string length. Where do you want 
to get it from?

Regards,

Joerg
