Default Get day of week for 01 Jan 2009
Is there a way to call day-in-week to get value back for a string like: "01 Jan 2009"?

Thanks!

What is 'day-in-week'? A function you implemented?

If you are using XSLT 2.0 then check http://www.xsltfunctions.com/xsl/fun...y-of-week.html although you will need to convert your date format to yyyy-mm-dd first.

XSLT's date-handling functions always start with a date in international format, 2009-02-06. There are no functions to process dates in local-language (e.g. English) formats.

Sorry I did not make it clear.

I am using XSLT 1.0 EXSLT, and using data.day-in-week function.
I think I got the answer, I have to parse " Dec 2009" to "2009-12" first.

Thanks for your answer!
