Tag: string length

XML to be used for our example:

<FoodItems>
    <Item>
       <Name>Juice</Name>
    </Item>
    <Item>
        <Name>Bread</Name>
    </Item>
    <Item>
        <Name>Eggs</Name>
    </Item>
<FoodItems>

Now use this xml in xslt as

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="FoodItems">
  <table border="1" style="background-color:#cccc00">
    <tr>
      <th>Food Item</th>
      <th>String Length</th>
    </tr>
    <xsl:for-each select="FoodItems">  
    <tr>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="Name"/></td>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="string-length(Name)"/></td>
      </tr>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </table>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

 

Output 

FoodItem	String Length
Juice	5
Bread	5
Eggs	4
