Question

A fairly staright foward question, or so I thought…

select="../Store" returns a nodeset containing all of the nodes I need. I then need to calculate the string length of the name attribute attached to the Store node.

I would have thought it would be this:
select="string-length(../Store/@name)" but this only returns the string length of the first node.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

<xsl:variable name="StoreNames">
  <xsl:for-each select="../Store">
    <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:value-of select="string-length($StoreNames)" />

Nice and easy!
