convert single digit to two digits

[ofuuzo1@yahoo.no]

I have the following xml file and I want to concat the values and if
a value is less that two digits, it is converted to two digits

<date>
<day>1 </day>
<month>11</month>
<year>2008</year>
<date>
.....

The result will be 01112008

How can I do it using xslt?

Thanks
Ofuuzo

There is a space there, does that belong there?

<month>11</month>
<year>2008</year>
<date>

Well with XSLT 2.0 you can write a function e.g.

<xsl:function name="my:pad" as="xs:string" >
<xsl:param name="input" as="xs:string"/>
<xsl:variable name="n" as="xs:string"
select="normali ze-space($input)"/>
<xsl:sequence
select="if (string-length($n) &lt; 2) then
concat('0', $n) else $n"/>
</xsl:function>

and use it like this:

<xsl:template match="date">
<xsl:value-of select="*/my:pad(.)" separator=""/>
</xsl:template>

XSLT 2.0 is supported by Saxon (<http://saxon.sourcefor ge.net/>),
Gestalt (<http://gestalt.sourcef orge.net>) and AltovaXML
(<http://www.altova.com/altovaxml.html> )

Let us know whether that helps or whether you want an XSLT 1.0 solution.

Here is an XSLT 1.0 solution with a named template:

<xsl:styleshe et
xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">

<xsl:output method="text"/>

<xsl:template name="pad">
<xsl:param name="input"/>
<xsl:param name="length" select="2"/>
<xsl:variable name="n" select="normali ze-space($input)"/>
<xsl:variable name="padchars" select="'000000 00000000000000' "/>
<xsl:value-of select="concat( substring($padc hars, 1, $length -
string-length($n)), $n)"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="date">
<xsl:for-each select="*">
<xsl:call-template name="pad">
<xsl:with-param name="input" select="."/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
