Perhaps it's not really a space but some other character that looks like a
space, for example a non-breaking space.

Subject: [xsl] problem with substring()
Hi
I cant understand what Ive done wrong with my code that I
aint getting
any output.
<xsl:variable name="Val" select="text()"/>
<testVar><xsl:value-of select="$Val"/></testVar> <!--Prints
the output
'hello there'-->
<xsl:variable name="firstVal" select="substring-before($Val,' ')"/>
<!--empty result instead of 'hello'-->
<xsl:variable name="secondVal" select="substring-after($Val,' ')"/>
<!--empty result instead of 'there'-->
Ive tried using another delimiter such 'a' in the substring()
method and
that works but not a space. Ive been regularly using this
criteria in my
other files and Ive had no problem. I even tried typeasting
text() and
Val to type string() but that dint work either. The problem
seems to be
in the space delimiter.
Ive tried everything I could to check why it isnt working but cant
figure it out.
Could someone please help.
Thanks
Rahil
