I'm retrieving a time stamp from the web and extracting the month and
year values. I want to replace the numeric month value (06) with a
month string (JUNE). Things work OK up to a point - when I use the
following code to get the string value, the result reads JUNE06
rather than just plain old JUNE. It looks as if, the string val is
concatenated to the numeric month val. Somebody's book told me that
this was the
way to go, but it look like I went up the wrong path.
This is part of a larger xml to fo style sheet. I'm using Saxon
6.5.5. This shouldn't be a problem, but I'm doing something wrong.
<xsl:variable name="date" select="document('http://xobjex.com/cgi-bin/
date.pl')/date"/>
<xsl:text>LAST REVISED: </xsl:text>
<xsl:variable name="month" select="$date/utc/month"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$month = 01">January</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 02">February</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 03">March</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 04">April</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 05">May</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 06">June</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 07">July</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 08">August</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 09">September</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 10">October</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 11">November</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 12">December</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>INVALID MONTH</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:value-of select="$month"/>
<xsl:text>/</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$date/utc/year"/>
Thanks in advance....
