You can then use your obtained string-length to substring this: <xsl:variable name="lotsOfLines" select="'_______________________________________'"/> <xsl:template match="myElement"> <xsl:variable name="attLength" select="string-length(@myAttr)"/> <!-- ... Blah ... --> <xsl:value-of select="substring($lotsOfLines,1,$attLength)"/> <!-- ... /Blah ... --> </xsl:template> Cheers, Stuart XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
