| <xsl:value-of select="string-length($text)"/>

that is correct, but can be done shorter ...
<xsl:variable name="text"><xsl:copy-of select="/path/to/maritalstatus/
text()"/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="string-length($text)"/>

Re: [xsl] test on string-length of text() for element with node
Ah sorry it's because in XSLT 1.0 'first item semantics' kick in when
you supply a sequence of more than 1 item to a function that expects
only one... so doing /text() returns multiple nodes and then all but
the first are silently dropped.
I haven't written any xslt 1.0 for a long time, but I think you would
need to store all the text node in a variable, then get the string
length of that:
<xsl:variable name="text">
<xsl:for-each select="/path/to/maritalstatus/text()">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="string-length($text)"/>
If you want to ignore whitespace only nodes, then use xsl:strip-space
on the <maritalstatus> element or do text()[normalize-space(.)]
cheers

I also thought so, but I don't know why its not working.
If 'textstring' is placed direct after the starttag <maritalstatus>,
followed by the child elements it works.
But in this case it doesn't work

Hello,
Probably it's not difficult, but I'm struggling with the following
issue (maybe it's because it's Friday afternoon)
From an xml node set, I need to select the string-length of an
elements content without its child elements.
xml node set
<maritalstatus>
<cs:info xmlns:cs="http://cs.nl/cs"; id="6">
<codeList>maritalstatus</codeList>
<instruction id="7">no instruction</instruction>
<length>1</length>
<minOccurs>0</minOccurs>
<pattern>\d*</pattern>
</cs:info>
<cs:update xmlns:cs="http://cs.nl/cs";>
<additionalInfo>test</additionalInfo>
<oldData>2</oldData>
<newData>5</newData>
</cs:update>textstring
</maritalstatus>
From the element <maritalstatus> the string-length of only
'textstring' must be selected. How do I escape the child elements in
the xsl:value-of select.
I'm using XSLT 1.0 with xsltproc.
Its just:
maritalstatus/text()
