Clay, The links you have mentioned has excellent source for date time functions. But I am receiving a date in XML file that has not matching format according to XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes. So I can not use that function.
So I am now looking for some string function only that can give me the format I want. Can you help on this? Its not immediate requirement, but it would be great If I can figure out something in couple hours. Thanks for yr time Jasmin -----Original Message----- From: Clay Leeds [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2003 11:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: xsl question about substring/index Jasmin, Here's a page with some "date" extensions to XSLT: http://www.exslt.org/date Here's a differen extension worth checking out: http://xsltsl.sourceforge.net/date-time.html I'm sure there's an XSL template out there somewhere that does exactly what you're looking for, but I couldn't find it in 5 mins of looking... sorry.
