XSLT - String conversion

[Ramu Ramaiah]

Hi,

I have the following XML content.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="log.xsl"?> 
<E t="2006-06-20 16:46:18.285" es="5" ep="0x9223" ei="0x5" ie="0x0" ii="0x0"><![CDATA[
Data
]]></E>

I have to convert the XML in to a html display when the ep is "0x9223". I wrote the following XSLT, "log.xsl"

<xsl:stylesheet version = '1.0' 
     xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'>
 
<xsl:variable name="A" select="string(0x9223)"/>
 
<xsl:template match="/"> 
<xsl:apply-templates select="//E"/>
</xsl:template>
 
<xsl:template match="E">
          <div style="color:navy">
  <xsl:for-each select=".">
     <xsl:if test="string(@ep)=$A">
     <xsl:value-of select="string(@ep)"/>
     </xsl:if>
  </xsl:for-each>
  </div>
</xsl:template>
 
</xsl:stylesheet>

When I try to open the XML, I am getting a error in <xsl:variable name="A" select="string(0x9223)"/>. can somebody help me how to convert the hexadecimal literal to string?

Thanks,
Ramu

Why convert it?

Can't you compare the value directly by defining the variable A like this -

<xsl:variable name="A"><xsl:value-of select="0x9223"/></xsl:variable>

Does that not work ?
Thanks.

This one worked.

<xsl:variable name="A"><xsl:value-of select=' "0x9223" '/></xsl:variable>

I think for strings we have to insert the double quoted strings in single quotes.
