I was thinking that, too, Wendell, but some quick testing revealed a
problem. Because translate substitutes only one character, the semi-colon
is replaced with a comma but no space. To get a space after each comma
requires a different approach. I suppose a recursive template that uses
substring functions would be the 1.0 solution. I think the 2.0 solution
would be to tokenize the input string and then reassemble with a for-each
on the tokens, adding the comma and space along the way.

Re: [xsl] translate array delimiters in XSLT
Cas,
At 11:36 AM 3/18/2005, you wrote:
<xsl:for-each select="translate(@software,';',', ')">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
You want
<xsl:value-of select="translate(@software,';',', ')"/>
The translate() function operates on strings and returns a string. Since
for-each iterates over a set of nodes, it requires a node-set to be
returned by the expression in its @select: hence the error when you give
it
a string.
Cheers,
Wendell
