Hi,
Take a look at http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N7240.html
Or read the section on string processing in Jeni Tennison's XSLT and
XPath On the Edge (isbn 0764547763). If you are stuck with XSLT 1.0,
this is an essential in your library.
Generally speaking, in XSLT 1.0 one can process a string as a
parameter through a recursive template, which works by "chopping" the
string until it's gone.
Partly it's cumbersome because you are limited to just a few
string-manipulation functions. You have to operate on the strings
using substring-before(), starts-with() and a few others.
Since, in XSLT 1.0, one cannot pipeline (unless one can, because
making result trees readable is a common extension in 1.0 processors),
this is especially difficult to demonstrate. A decent solution must
also be highly tuned to your own specific and particular requirements.
It is also likely to be relatively verbose, even for XSLT. Code like
this makes many people impatient especially when they know it is not
necessary.
Arguably a better solution than pure XSLT 1.0 in one pass: hack the
tags themselves by hand (Perl, sed, awk) as a pre-process.
If you at least have a node-set() extension function, this is slightly
less crazy in XSLT 1.0.
Good luck, Wendell

Thank you very much for your help.

I want to split the values in "Product" to multiple lines. For eg: for
LineId = 222, there are 3 values (BBB;CCC;DDD;). So I need to create 3 lines
along with the first line. How can I do that?
Eg:
<ns1:Lines>
<ns1:Line>
<ns1:LineId>111</ns1:LineId>
<ns1:Product>AA</ns1:Product>
<ns1:Amount>100</ns1:Amount>
</ns1:Line>
<ns1:Line>
<ns1:LineId>222</ns1:LineId>
<ns1:Product>BBB;CCC;DDD;</ns1:Product>
<ns1:Amount>200</ns1:Amount>
</ns1:Line>
</ns1:Lines>
Output
<ns1:Lines>
<ns1:Line>
<ns1:LineId>111</ns1:LineId>
<ns1:Product>AAA</ns1:Product>
<ns1:Amount>100</ns1:Amount>
</ns1:Line>
<ns1:Line>
<ns1:LineId>222</ns1:LineId>
<ns1:Product>BBB</ns1:Product>
<ns1:Amount>100</ns1:Amount>
</ns1:Line>
<ns1:Line>
<ns1:LineId>222</ns1:LineId>
<ns1:Product>CCC</ns1:Product>
<ns1:Amount>100</ns1:Amount>
</ns1:Line>
<ns1:Line>
<ns1:LineId>222</ns1:LineId>
<ns1:Product>DDD</ns1:Product>
<ns1:Amount>100</ns1:Amount>
</ns1:Line>
</ns1:Lines>
I know there is a tokenize function. But how do I copy other values?
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ns1:Line">
<xsl:variable name="original" select="." />
<xsl:for-each
select="tokenize(normalize-space(ns1:Product),';\p{Zs}*')[normalize-space()]">
<ns1:Line>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$original/ns1:LineId" />
<ns1:Product>
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</ns1:Product>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$original/ns1:Amount" />
</ns1:Line>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
You notice that what you're doing is relative to the ns1:Line elements, and
that while you could select only those ns1:Line elements were you need to
split
things
<xsl:template match="ns1:Line[matches(ns1:Product,';')]">
you don't need to; tokenizing where there aren't any semi-colons just
returns
whatever was there.
You watch out for the trailing semi-colons by excluding the null string from
the sequence produced by tokenize -- that's what [normalize-space()] does --
and you use a variable to hang on to the original element context, which you
lose inside the for-each.
