I have a string for exemple '00643cam 022002291 04500'

How can  I shift the string position by position?

I'm not quite sure what your question is. If you want to split
your string at certain positions, use substring(), for example
 <xsl:variable name="part1" select="substring($str,1,8)"/>
If you want to split the string at certain characters, use
substring-before() and substring-after(), like in
 <xsl:variable name="part1" select="substring-before($str,' ')"/>

If the string contains multiple parts, you can program unrolled code,
like
 <xsl:variable name="part1" select="substring-before($str,' ')"/>
 <xsl:variable name="tail1" select="substring-after($str,' ')"/>
 <xsl:variable name="part2" select="substring-before($tail1,' ')"/>
 <xsl:variable name="tail2" select="substring-after($tail1,' ')"/>
or use a recursive template as described in the XSL FAQ:
