Get letter at given position

Hi all. I have a rather short question:
How can I in xsl to get a letter, given its position
in the alphabet, e.g. given number 5, return a letter 'e'?
Is it possible in pure xsl or do I need to use java extension?

Thank you very much for help.

Hi all, I've noticed a strange error on my website. When I print a capital letter P with a dot above, using & #7766; it appears correctly, but when I use P& #0775 it doesn't. The following capital letters all work correctly - B C D F G M S T with the diacritical marker &#_0775. Why am I having a problem with P?

Given the following declaration: String letter = "A"; Is there a way that I can increment letter so that "B" is returned? Is there a way that I can add an offset so that let's say, "G" is returned? Thanks.

I have a Word 2003 mail merge main document (form letter) that is linked to another Word document data source for the mail merge. If I open this doc using the Word GUI, it first asks me to confirm that I want to run a query to select the data from the data source file, then it opens the form letter fine. I can preview the merged records and complete a merge to a new document. I have a VB 2006 project (.net framework 2.0) which opens the...

How would I write a user defnable letter swapping algorithm? I've written an Enigma encrypting program, and I need to redo the plugboard function. Right now, the letter swapping is fixed. I need to allow the user to swap 23 pairs of characters. As you may have guessed, I'm using an alphabet of 36 characters, A-Z and 0-9. Thanks!!!!

Hi I have difficult undersating this problem Read data from a I/P file.Ignore all lines that start with the literal string given as a command line argument. Otherwise, collect and count the letter strings, case independently. If the literal string is "foo" and a line starts with "foo", ignore it. If a line does NOT start with foo then the letter strings on it get counted (which might add to counts from previous lines).

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
