My problem is that I receive for example a date in a
concatenated format:
Ex: 20041207
And I have to retrieve it in a readable format through my xslt-fo
transformation.
Ex. 12 July 2004
Are you sure that date is 12 July and not 7 December? Probably a stupid
question, it's just that I've never seen dates written as YYYYDDMM before.
Anyway: two solutions. I'll assume the value is in $d.
XSLT 2.0:
format-date(
xs:date(
concat(
substring($d,1,4),
'-',
substring($d,7,2),
'-',
substring($d,5,2))),
'[D01] [MNn] [Y0001]')
XSLT 1.0:
concat(
substring($d,1,4),
'-',
$months/m[number(substring($d,7,2))],
'-',
substring($d,5,2))>
where $months is
<xsl:variable name="months">
<m>January</m>
<m>February</m>
etc.

I tried using the substring attribute for that, but I don't have any
reference character to look at so it doesn't work. Is there a
function
which parses strings or numbers after a certain amount of characters
directly?
Thanks in advance for those which will response.
