Re: [xsl] creating a string after counting charatercs

[Joerg Heinicke <joerg.heinicke@xxxxxx>]

Hello Julia,

if you have a max length of the string, you can do one of the following:

<xsl:value-of select="translate($string, $string, '____________________')"/>

<xsl:value-of select="substring($string, 0, $string-length)"/>

If the string length is undefined, you can use a recursive template.

Regards,

Joerg
