Splitting comma separated text into divs

[SilverLining]

Hi all,

I have an XML file which contains comma separated text within an element. How does one go about placing each of these within it's own "div"?

e.g.

<c>cumulus,stratus,nimbus</c>

What I'd like to output is

<div class="c">
<div class="type">cumulus</div>
<div class="type">stratus</div>
<div class="type">nimbus</div>
</div>

The solution probably requires making use of a template, but what has thrown me off is the fact that there are only two commas, so I can't use

<xsl:value-of select="substring-before(., '</div>')"/>

or

<xsl:value-of select="substring-after(., '<div>')"/>

Actually I could probably do something along the lines of opening a div before the XSL, then closing it after the XSL, but how do I split up the string?

XSLT 2 has RegEx and tokenize. [w3schools.com]

In my case, I would probably use a PHP callout, and use a split() in a PHP script.

Thanks, but is there any way of doing this straight in the XSL file? Our system does not support php.

Do you guys have an XSLT 2 processor? If so, use the tokenize() XPath function. That's synonymous with the standard split() function.

[SilverLining]

No. We use an XSLT 1 processor (Xalan).

If you know the definitive output is only two commas could you not put the div tags inside the element? when they are printed out they will render in divs?
