<xsl:value-of select="translate($your-date, '/', '.')" /> Would be if only I need to change all the '/' into '.'

Another option could be to use the XSLT translate() function if you only need to change all the '/' into '.' in your date string: <xsl:value-of select="translate($your-date, '/', '.')" />. This way you can do it in XSLT. -- Konstantin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scherler, Thorsten" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 20:28 Subject: AW: date translation Thanks!

It will create a Result Tree Fragment, where it is not needed. Using <xsl:param name="any" select="anyExpression"/> is shorter and is of a "normal" data type like node set, string or number. While working with strings it's only a question of conversions the processor has to do. But when working with node sets it can be really a problem: <xsl:param name="any"> <xsl:copy-of select="anyExpressionThatReturnsANodeset"/> </xsl:param> You can't operate on $any like on a node set. Only string operatrions are allowed. So for example "$any/path/to/a/node" is not possible. Another problem: <xsl:variable name="emptyString" select="''"/> <xsl:variable name="emptyRTF"> <xsl:value-of select="''"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:if test="$emptyString"/> ==> false <xsl:if test="$emptyRTF"/> ==> true You can't test that simply on the emptyness of a RTF, because it returns always true. You must explicitely convert it into a string via test="string($emptyRTF)". http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-Result-Tree-Fragments So in general it's better to avoid RTFs.
