Split Address in XSL

[lastbuilders]

Hi,

I am trying to split an address into serveral parts in an xsl
stylesheet and was hopeing to get some pointers.
The addresss are similiar to
"testaddress, Templeogue, Dublin 16, Ireland , this is a very, long
address"

I need to split this into between 1 and 4 parts none of which can be
longer than 50 characters.

For example if the address had 55 characters it would be broken in 2
on the last apostrophe so the address would be

"testaddress, Templeogue, Dublin 16, Ireland , this is a very, "

"long address"

However if the address was
"testaddress, Templeogue, Dublin 16, Ireland , this is a very, long
address testaddress, Templeogue, Dublin 16, Ireland , this is a very,
long address"

It would be broken into 3

"testaddress, Templeogue, Dublin 16, Ireland , this is a very, "
"long address testaddress, Templeogue, Dublin 16, Ireland ,"
"this is a very, long address"

Any help with this would be great.

XSLT 1.0 supports the following XPath 1.0 string functions
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#section-String-Functions>
so using string-length and substring should help.

The

test-strSplit-to-Lines.xsl

template of FXSL solves exactly the task described.
