Extract nested data from XML via XSLT

[SandIsland]

I am trying to extract just a portion of data from an XML data source:

<Row>
<Col Name="Col0">123456<CellColour>36</CellColour>
<FontColour>1</FontColour>
<Bottom>1</Bottom>
<Bold>False</Bold>
<Italic>False</Italic>
<TextDirection>0</TextDirection>
</Col>
</Row>

When I extract the Col field I get "1234563612111FalsexlCenterxlBottomFalse00Fals e" using " <xsl:value-of select="Col"/>".


I just want the first portion of data "123456". I do not need any of the html tags or html data.

Any suggestions? Any direction on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

<xsl:value-of select="Col/text()"/>
or
<xsl:value-of select="Col/text()[1]"/>

That worked great!!. Thanks

One more question to extend your reply..

Each set is named "<Col Name="Col0">123456". How do I reference them by name?

ie.
Col Name="Col0">123456
Col Name="Col1">456789
Col Name="Col2">678912
Col Name="Col3">234565

Meaning each has its own name Col0, Col1, Col2, etc.

When using Col/text() it pulls only the first Col0 as that is the tag of the data set. I already have a loop setup which now grabs the first Col/text() in each set. I how do I pull them by name?

Not entirely sure what you want.
Either <xsl:value-of select="Col[@name = 'Col0']/text()"/>

Or

<xsl:for-each select="Col">
  <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>:<xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
</xsl:for-each>

Perfect!!

That was exactly what I needed.

Thanks again!!
