SO it would be a kind of array of chars.

Isn't a string a kind of array of chars ;-) ???

Any function available for the same?

what about substring()?

http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xpath-19991116#function-substring

<xsl:value-of select="substring('...................................',
1, $myLength)"/> should do the trick!
