Whitespace seperated values into HTML table


Hello Joerg, thank you for your response.  

I'm a newbie to XSL, and I've been unable to get this to work yet with the
suggested recursive template using the MSXML4 parser.  Once again, I'm
trying to normalize whitespace between Strings, and to also display each
individual string in it's own column.  Is there some sort of a tutorial
available for Dimitre's FXSL?  All other suggestions are most welcome.
Kindly include some code as well.  Thank you!

Part of XML File:
<parameter name="Sensors">
<valueList size="4">sensorAAA sensorBBB sensorCCC sensorDDD</valueList>
</parameter>


Target Output:
___________________________________________________________
|Sensors		|sensorAAA|sensorBBB|sensorCCC|sensorDDD|
-----------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

you can use a recursive template, an extension function tokenize (has 
MSXML such a function?) or the FXSL of Dimitre.

The recursive template:

<xsl:template match="valueList">
   <xsl:call-template name="tokenize">
     <xsl:with-param name="string" select="."/>
     <xsl:with-param name="delimiter" select=" "/>
   </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="tokenize">
   <xsl:param name="string"/>
   <xsl:param name="delimiter"/>
   <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="contains($string, $delimiter)">
       <option>
         <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($string, $delimiter)"/>
       </option>
       <xsl:call-template name="tokenize">
         <xsl:with-param name="string" select="substring-after($string, 
$delimiter)"/>
         <xsl:with-param name="delimiter" select=" "/>
       </xsl:call-template>
     </xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>
       <option>
         <xsl:value-of select="$string"/>
       </option>
     </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Regards,

Joerg
