Re: Problem with Formatting a string.

2005-07-19 02:25:21
Hi,
  I think it should be possible to construct a string
variable like this 0000  depending on number of dots,
by writing a recursive named template.

Regards,
Mukul

Hi List,

I want to format a number based on condition. I
wrote a template which does
1. Input parameter is a string to the template.
2. Count number of dots in the string.
for eg: if input string : 'SH-12.3.4' then number of
dots = 2
3. Format the sequence attribute for that node based
on the number of dots.
see the following xslt code.
<xsl:template name="NewName">
<xsl:param name="strRep" />
<xsl:variable name="nrdots"
select="string-length($strRep) -
string-length(translate($strRep, '.', ''))" />
<xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="$nrdots = 0">
              <xsl:value-of

select="concat($strRep,concat('.',format-number(./@Sequence,'0')))"/>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test="$nrdots = 1">
              <xsl:value-of

select="concat($strRep,concat('.',format-number(./@Sequence,'00')))"/>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test="$nrdots = 2">
              <xsl:value-of

select="concat($strRep,concat('.',format-number(./@Sequence,'000')))"/>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test="$nrdots = 3">
              <xsl:value-of

select="concat($strRep,concat('.',format-number(./@Sequence,'0000')))"/>
      </xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

4. Suppose there are 4 dots, I have to add one more
when statement. I have
to add n number of conditions for n-possible values.
5. What I want is, a template which automatically
formats based on the
number of dots.

Can any one send me the standard template for this.

Thanks
