Try <xsl:variable name="bar" select="concat(translate(substring($foo,1,1),'abc...','ABC...'), substring($foo,2))"/> In order to keep it more readable, often variables are declared and used for the constant strings: <xsl:variable name="lower" select="'abc...'"/> <xsl:variable name="upper" select="'ABC...'"/> ... translate(...,$lower,$upper) ... You may also include non-ASCII characters in the translation string, if necessary. The following can be used to upcase german umlauts: <xsl:variable name="lower" select="'äöü'"/> <xsl:variable name="upper" select="'ÄÖÜ'"/> HTH J.Pietschmann XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
