RE: [xsl] Tokenize comma separated string in XSL

Hi,

I am using XSLT 1.0 In the XSL I get the comma separated string
ABC,DEF,GHI as a parameter which is set by a Java program. 

The output XML should be:

<AllCodes>
   <Code value = "A">
      <Description="ABC"/>
   </Code>
  <Code value = "D">
      <Description="DEF"/>
   </Code>
  <Code value = "G">
      <Description="GHI"/>
   </Code>
</AllCodes>

Can you please give me an example on the recursive template using
substring-before and substring-after?

Thanks,
Lalit

Hi All,
I have a comma-separated string like ABC,DEF,GHI which I want to
tokenize and return to a template which retrieves separately its
corresponding code from a XML input.

What version of XSLT are you using?

In XSLT 2, this is:

<xsl:for-each select="tokenize($your_input, ',')" >
    <Description value="{.}" />
</xsl:for-each>

In XSLT 1, use a recursive template call with substring-before and 
substring-after to "walk" through the string.

The output should be: 

<AllCodes>
   <Code value = "A">
      <Description="ABC">

your output is not valid XML and as such is not (easily) possible with 
XSLT. I assume you meant something else?
