item-at()?

[tsh138]

When I try to use item-at() I get the error that it is an unknown system function. Anyone know what function,if any, takes the place of this one?

Hello,

There is no built-in function called item-at(). Please give an example of the input of your transformation and what you try to obtain from the transformation.

Sorry, I figured it out. Use braces like an array in other languages.

Also note that node lists in xslt start at position() 1, not 0.

Thanks, I think I read that somewhere in relation to how Microsoft deviated from the standard and start with 0 instead of one, is that correct?

[jkmyoung]

No.
All XSLT processors I've seen, including Microsofts, start at array index 1.

You may be thinking of C# or C++ where they start at 0, as is the norm, (eg compared to Java, php, perl, etc..)
