Because tokenize is an XSLT 2.0 function and Xalan is an XSLT 1.0
processor.
You need to use a recursive template to get strings from a larger string
in XSLT 1.0.

RE: [xsl] Passing a variable number of parameters or rather an array
Thanks everyone for the help.
Argh, so I tried this approach and I even found another example of it at:
http://www.xml.com/lpt/a/2003/05/07/tr.html
And yet it doesn't work in xalan, which is frustrating:
<xsl:variable
name="sampleString">XML,XSLT,XPath,SVG,XPointer</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="tokenizedSample"
select="tokenize($sampleString,',')"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$tokenizedSample">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:text>! </xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
does anyone know why this gives me the error:
ERROR: 'Error checking type of the expression 'funcall(tokenize,
[variable-ref(sampleString/result-tree), literal-expr(,)])'.'
FATAL ERROR: 'Could not compile stylesheet'

Just give this a try..... I havent tried it out myself....
Step1 : Store it into a variable..
Step 2: Iterate through using <for-each>
<for-each select="tokenize($category,'\s+')">
<individualFruit>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</individualFruit>
</xsl:for-each>

Also a good idea, but do I have to go and save the xml as a file, is
there
no way of passing in the it in also as a parameter, performance is not a
huge issue, but I wouldn't mind saving a bit of disk latency.
More importantly how do I do array/string[1] in some sort of loop, sorry
I
am very new to xslt.
thanks

The details of how to pass stylesheet parameters to a transformer is
specific to the particular XSLT processor.
But there is a portable (*) way of doing what you want to do:
Create your array as an xml document: e,g.:
<array>
<string>string one</string>
<string>string two</string>
</array>
Then pass the URI of this document as a string-valued parameter, and
use the document() function to access the array.
Now you can use XPath expressions such as array/string[1] to get the
first string-value from this document.
(*) assuming that all XSLT processors allow you to pass a
string-constant as a parameter.
