How to fetch particular element from string after splitting it, using XSLT split() ?
- by Vijay
Hi All,
I have one query regarding XSLT functions. I am using split function to fetch values from a string. I am using separator as "*".
e.g.
String : {"item1*item2*item3*item4"}
split function I am using is as;
<xsl:template name="SplitItemsCollection">
<xsl:param name="list" select="''"/>
<xsl:param name="separator" select="'*'"/>
<xsl:if test="not($list = '' or $separator = '')">
<xsl:variable name="head" select="substring-before(concat($list, $separator), $separator)"/>
<xsl:variable name="tail" select="substring-after($list, $separator)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$head"/>
<xsl:call-template name="split">
<xsl:with-param name="list" select="$tail"/>
<xsl:with-param name="separator" select="$separator"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
This function returns me all the items.
Is there any way to fetch particular item from these separated items ?
Say I want to fetch item3. Can we do it directly ?
Thanks in advance.
