help with XSLT

[himgi]

Hi to all I need to transform an xml document from a format to another.

In my source XML I have a tag value that is a list of codes. I give u
an example:
<mytag>1,2,33,44,55,6,7,88,99,...,nn</mytag>

Now I need to have this tag transformed as follow:
<MyNewTags>
<MyNewTag>1</MyNewTag>
<MyNewTag>2</MyNewTag>
<MyNewTag>33</MyNewTag>
<MyNewTag>44</MyNewTag>
<MyNewTag>55</MyNewTag>
<MyNewTag>6/MyNewTag>
<MyNewTag>7</MyNewTag>
<MyNewTag>88</MyNewTag>
<MyNewTag>99</MyNewTag>
....
<MyNewTag>nn</MyNewTag>
</MyNewTags>

How do i do that with XSLT?
Or when can I lookup to find the solution?

I did not find anything on the W3C Tutorial about XSLT..

Thanks in advance, Himgi.

This is an awkward problem in XSLT (not hard, just awkward). Your
input document is more of a text document than an XML document, because
the "interesting" part of the parsing is about parsing a text string,
not XML.

Here's a crude recursive solution.

<xsl:template name="foo" >
<xslaram name="list" select="/.." />
<xsl:variable name="car" select="substring-before($list,',')" />
<xsl:variable name="cdr" select="substring-after($list,',')" />
<xsl:choose><xsl:when test="$car" >
<MyNewTag><xsl:value-of select="($car)" /></MyNewTag>
<xsl:call-template name="foo" >
<xsl:with-param name="list" select="($cdr)" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$list" ><MyNewTag><xsl:value-of select="$list"
/></MyNewTag></xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="mytag" >
<MyNewTags>
<xsl:call-template name="foo" >
<xsl:with-param name="list" select="text()" />
</xsl:call-template>
</MyNewTags>
</xsl:template>

Thank you very much. I really appreciate!
