Yes. Below is a transformation, which uses the "transform-and-sum" template from FXSL: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:func-transform="f:func-transform" exclude-result-prefixes="xsl func-transform" > <xsl:import href="transform-and-sum.xsl"/> <!-- to be applied on testTransform-and-sum3.xml --> <xsl:output method="text"/> <func-transform:func-transform/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:call-template name="transform-and-sum"> <xsl:with-param name="pFuncTransform" select="document('')/*/func-transform:*[1]"/> <xsl:with-param name="pList" select="//freespace"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="func-transform:*"> <xsl:param name="arg" select="0"/> <xsl:value-of select="translate($arg, translate($arg, '0123456789', ''), '')"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> When applied on this source.xml: <disks> <disk> <freespace>1235MB</freespace> </disk> <disk> <freespace>40MB</freespace> </disk> <disk> <freespace>75MB</freespace> </disk> </disks> the wanted result is produced: 1350 Another solution will consume all digits befor a non-digit is encountered -- this will use the "str-take-while" template. ===== Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/ -- the home of FXSL XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
