Hi Everyone,
My question is regarding some string manipulation.
I have template which looks at a string value of a date
(eg 02-03-02 param1) and a dateformat (eg. DD-MM-YY param2).
My template has to (for e.g.):
return 02-03-02
if param1= 2-3-02
and param2= DD-MM-YY
or
return 02/03/2002
if param1= 02/3/02
and param2= DD-MM-YYYY
I'm having difficulties in thinking of a short and neat way of appending '0'
in front of any number between 1-9 (if its not already there).
[And appending a '20' for a year format (if its not already there)].
Any help appreciated.
Template
--------
<xsl:template name="dateFormat">
<xsl:param name="str">
<xsl:param name="date-format">
<xsl:variable name="str2">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="string-length($str) = string-length($date-format)">
<xsl:value-of select="$str"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<!-- need some help here -->
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
</xsl:template>
Regards
Bodrul
