RE: [xsl] Converting date formats
Subject: RE: [xsl] Converting date formats From: Xiaocun Xu <xiaocunxu@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2001 12:55:50 -0700 (PDT) |
Hi, Doug: If you are new to XSLT, you really should start by going through a primer before trying to code anything productive. If you have any question, check out FAQ at http://www.laidback.org/dpawson/xsl/xslfaq.html first. In any case, here is a complete working XSL illustrate date formatting. I set current date into a variable and output it in the format you wanted. This is a good start point for you to massage this code into your own code: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:variable name="date" select="20010607"/> <xsl:value-of select="concat(substring($date, 7, 2),'/',substring($date, 5, 2),'/',substring($date, 1, 4))"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Hope this helps, Xiaocun --- "Hewko, Doug" <Doug.Hewko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Thanks for the help.
