RE: [xsl] XPath 2.0: string to sequence of characters

2007-02-02 10:00:45
 

With XPath 2.0, what is the easiest way to split a string 
into a sequence of strings of length one e.g.
   "Kibology" into ("K", "i", "b", "o", "l", "o", "g", "y") I 
came up with e.g.
    for $index in 1 to string-length("Kibology")
    return substring("Kibology", $index, 1) but wonder 
whether there is a shorter/easier way.


It's not especially pretty, but I would tend to do

for $i in string-to-codepoints($in) return codepoints-to-string($i)
