Dear Clay,
Thanks much. May be you could help me since you have
done some calculations. Let me know if you think its
feasible or not.
I have some xml element called "Name". I want to check
the length of the "Name" element. If the string length
for this is for example 10. I want to write it in a
fixed width for example 20. So since I want the field
to be fixed I want to add 10 fill charaters. The
number of fill characters I want to add will vary as
per the string length. Also the alignment can be
different. If the alignment is center then I want to
add fill characters before(here 5) and after (here 5)
the actual Name. If alignment is left then I want to
add fill characters (here 10)after the name and
similarly for right aligned I want to add before the
Name. Do you think something like this is feasible using XSL
for variable lengths of the strings that come from
xml?
Your help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Abhi
