RE: [xsl] counting the number of tokens in a string?

["Marrow" <marrow at marrowsoft dot com>]

Hi,

You could use something like...

  <xsl:value-of select="string-length(ITEM/@cols) - 
                        string-length(translate(ITEM/@cols,',','')) +
1"/>

Hope this helps

Subject: [xsl] counting the number of tokens in a string?

Hi,

another newbie question. Is there an easy way to count
the number of commas in a string? Like this:

<ITEM cols="col1,col2,col3,col4"/>

I would like to print 4 for the number of columns in
my ITEM. I searched on tokenize() but most of the
references are about the existence of it.

Thanks,

J.L.
