RE: Character from numeric code? double->integer cast?

2005-06-29 00:53:08


<xsl:variable name="cb" 
select="codepoints-to-string(number(substring('#CB00001', 4)) 
+ 983040)"/>

This does not work, Saxon 8.1B complains that I am providing 
an xs:double, but the function codepoints-to-string wants a 
xs:integer. Now, how on earth do I get number() to give me an 
integer?  I have tried combinations using the "as" attribute, 
with an intermediate variable but then Saxon wonders about 
the namespace "xs:" .  It looks like I am missing something 
fundamental here, sigh.

Use xs:integer() instead of number() and add the namespace:

xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";

Your new variable definition should look like:

<xsl:variable name="cb"
select="codepoints-to-string(xs:integer(substring('#CB00001', 4)) +
983040)"/>
                                                     ^^^^^^^^^^

cheers
