well, yes - i want to have a series of distinct strings, and i really wanna
go for the last option you proposed. but as a matter of fact, i don't know
how to set the xsl:copy-of element as an input string of the called
templated since it is an essential part of the template where itself and the
call-template element is used.
sorry to cause you that much trouble...

all of these work perfectly, except the variable "frank" that is put in as
the outcomes of all the for-each loops in the first template put together...
which is what I would expect, given your code, but if that's what you
wanted then it's not clear what you do want, so hard to suggest what to
change.
<xsl:template match="INSTANCE" name="joseph">
<xsl:for-each select="key('tracker', 'Referenced Document')">
<xsl:copy-of
select="substring-before(substring-after(.,'"\"'), '"')"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
that for-each will make some collection of strings but you can't have
adjacent text nodes in xpath so what is returned is a single text node
with the concatenation. this is as would eb expected in xml, if you need
to have a series of distinct strings you need some xml element structure
somewhere.
You could
do
<xsl:template match="INSTANCE" name="joseph">
<xsl:for-each select="key('tracker', 'Referenced Document')">
<abc>
<xsl:value-of
select="substring-before(substring-after(.,'"\"'), '"')"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</abc>
</xsl:template>
then
<xsl:variable name="frank">
<xsl:call-template name="joseph">
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
would be a result tree fragment consisting of a root node with a set of
abc element children each containing a text node with your substrings
then you could use xx:node-set($frank)/abc to access each of those
strings,
but depending what you are trying to do you probably don't need an
node-set extension, why make the variable first, why not just do
<xsl:for-each select="key('tracker', 'Referenced Document')">
<xsl:call-template
your replacement text with input string this:
<xsl:copy-of
select="substring-before(substring-after(.,'"\"'), '"')"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
and so just handle one string at a time?
