RE: [xsl] Substring a Value

[Pieter Reint Siegers Kort <pieter.siegers@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Trevor,

18 pages is a big stylesheet... you may feel that this list is only barking
at WD-xsl (with reason for them but not really for you), but it wouldn't be
fair to complete the message and tell you that there is also a utility that
may help you convert the WD-xsl into real XSLT 1.0:

This site may also help you further:

It may not work out right of course but I think it's worth a try.

HTH,

Subject: Re: [xsl] Substring a Value

I realize (now), that nobody likes to deal with WD-xsl.  However, this was a
style sheet with 18 pages of code,  supplied by a vendor from Sweden.  
Obviously I would have preferred to modify the one line of code (or
implement JavaScript or VB), rather than to have to learn another
programming language and rewrite the file, which can not be converted with
any of the conversion tools I tried.

As it turns out, it was best that I wasn't able to get the file to work
correctly.  I've now learned xml/xsl (at a very basic level), and am ready
to engage in some xml projects for our company.  (Of course, I will not be
using the deprecated WD-xsl)

Thanks to those who tried to help, it was greatly appreciated.
