Re: [xsl] XSL - parsing a delimited string (URL)

How do I tokenize the string so that I can get only that first occurrence?


I have the following, but it's not so great:

<xsl:template name="SplitAttachments">
  <xsl:param name="str"/>
   <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="contains($str,';#')">
    <xsl:variable name="attachmentUrl" select="substring-before($str,';#')"/>
    <xsl:if test="string-length($attachmentUrl) != 0">
     <a href="{$attachmentUrl}"></a>
    </xsl:if>
    <xsl:call-template name="SplitAttachments">
     <xsl:with-param name="str" select="substring-after($str,';#')" />
    </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>  </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>


With XSLT 1.0, a recursive template like this is the recommended solution.

With XSLT 2.0, just use the tokenize() function.
