Hi,

On 1/21/2012 2:13 PM, was written:

<xsl:function as="xs:string" name="d:getMonthName">
    <xsl:param name="monthName"/>
    <xsl:variable name="monthNames"
        select="('january','february','march','april','may','june','july','august','september','october','november','december')"/>
    <xsl:sequence
        select="format-number(if (index-of($monthNames,$monthName) castable as xs:integer)
                            then index-of($monthNames,$monthName)
                            else 0,'00')"
    />
</xsl:function>

A bit of refactoring:

select="format-number((index-of($monthNames,$monthName),0)[1],'00')"

It works since index-of() returns an empty sequence if the item argument is not included in the sequence argument.

Cheers,
Wendell
