Hi

I have a xml file which looks like this

<Context>
	<Date>Tue Jan 11 16:00:00 PST 1949</Date>
</Context>

I need to show the date in 3 textfields as

Jan 11 1949


And then, after shutting the computer down to go to bed i realise:

<xsl:template match="Context">

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="substring(Date, 10, 1) = ' '">
<xsl:value-of select="substring(Date, 5, 4)" /><xsl:value-of select="substring(Date, 9, 2)" /> <xsl:value-of select="substring(Date, (string-length(Date) - 3), 4)" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="substring(Date, 5, 4)" /><xsl:value-of select="substring(Date, 9, 3)" /> <xsl:value-of select="substring(Date, (string-length(Date) - 3), 4)" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>


</xsl:template>

Doesn't look very elegant, but works...
