Hi,
err, yes stupid mistake on my part
Unicode for # is 0x23 = 35. using <xsl:variable name="numberFormat" select="#.000" /> gives the output :
and this is the same as using a raw hash in the variable declaration. I thought I needed to use the &# notation to get round the problem, but I read the wrong column in the table.
As I remarked above, this fails on my machine, I would be interested to see your line 6?
and this is exactly what I'm after and cannot get. I find xsl uniformly difficult to achieve basic results with, but the idea is so sweet..
mercifully, before I push the reply button, I notice

Hi,
running your stylesheet with saxon8 and 6 respectively produces
$ saxon8 fnum.xml fnum.xsl Warning: at xsl:stylesheet on line 3 of file:/c:/tmp/fnum.xsl: Running an XSLT 1.0 stylesheet with an XSLT 2.0 processor Error XTDE1310: format-number() picture is zero-length Transformation failed: Run-time errors were reported
davidc@souldern /c/tmp $ saxon fnum.xml fnum.xsl
22,222.444444 2.5555555 999,999.444444 22,222.444444
select="l.000" />
unicode 108 is an l so that's the same as
select="l.000" />
which isn't a legal format string, I think.
err, yes stupid mistake on my part
Unicode for # is 0x23 = 35. using <xsl:variable name="numberFormat" select="#.000" /> gives the output :
$ xsltproc problem.xsl problem.xml XPath error : Invalid expression #.000 ^ compilation error: file problem.xsl line 5 element variable xsl:variable : could not compile select expression '#.000'
and this is the same as using a raw hash in the variable declaration. I thought I needed to use the &# notation to get round the problem, but I read the wrong column in the table.
What ouput did you want?
<xsl:variable name="numberFormat" select="'#.000'" />
As I remarked above, this fails on my machine, I would be interested to see your line 6?
produces
22222.444 2.556 999999.444 22222.444
in both systems.
and this is exactly what I'm after and cannot get. I find xsl uniformly difficult to achieve basic results with, but the idea is so sweet..
mercifully, before I push the reply button, I notice
<xsl:variable name="numberFormat" select="'#.000'" /> ^ ^ the inner single quotes save the day - many thanks :-)
