Question

what is the easiest way to remove the ‘T’ from the result?

I want the result to be ‘YYYY/MM/DD HH/MM/SS’

the vb.net code is really straight forward

        xmlDoc = New Xml.XmlDataDocument(data_set)         xslTran = New Xml.Xsl.XslCompiledTransform         xslTran.Load(strXslFile)         writer = New Xml.XmlTextWriter(strHtmlFile, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8)          xslTran.Transform(xmlDoc, Nothing, writer)          writer.Close() 

thanks!

You could also use the substring-before and substring-after functions in your XSLT file.

<xsl:value-of select='substring-before(@datetime, 'T')' /> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select='substring-after(@datetime, 'T')'/> 

Alternatively, you could make use of the translate function, to replace a T with a space.

<xsl:value-of select='translate(@datetime,'T',' ')'/>
