Question

input.xml:

<comp>
  <link id="#c1-tbl-0001"/>
</comp>

output.xml:

<comp>
  <link newid="#c1-tbl-0001"/><tableno>1.1</tableno>
</comp>

i need the value for tableno from attribute value like 1 from tb1 and another 1 from 0001. so the ouput should be 1.1

i used the following xsl but it’s not gives the exact result.

 <xsl:element name ="tableno">
  <xsl:value-of select ="substring(@id,7)"/>.<xsl:value-of select="substring(@id,12)"/>
</xsl:element>

Answer 1

First of all, the attribute you want to read is named id, not href. (Edit: You seem to have corrected this.)

You have to give a length to the first substring call, so that it only captures one digit:

<xsl:value-of select="substring(@id, 7, 1)"/>.<xsl:value-of select="substring(@id, 12)"/>

If the second number may use more than one of the digits, but you want to strip the zeros, you can do

<xsl:value-of select="substring(@id, 7, 1)"/>.<xsl:value-of select="number(substring(@id, 9))"/>
