XPath 2.0 solution:
string-join(
for $i in 0 to (string-length($s) idiv 10)
return substring($s, $i*10+1, $i*10+11), " ")
Not tested.

Subject: [xsl] Long string - inserting a space after every 10
characters
Hi,
Is it possible to insert a space in a string (of unknown
length) after a specified number of characters e.g. after
every 10 characters insert a space??
I have an XML element called <name> which can be anywhere
between 1 and 50 characters long. I need to either split it
(by inserting a <BR/> tag) or inserting a space ( )
after every 10 characters.
Example1:
<name>Thisisareallyreallylongnamedontyouthink</name>
Would look like:
Thisisarea<BR/>llyreallyl<BR/>ongnamedon<BR/>tyouthink
OR /
Example2
<name>Thisisanotherexceptionallylongname</name>
Would loook like: Thisisanot herexcepti onallylong name
Many, many thanks
Al
