Hi,

I am getting input like this to XSLT:

<STUDENT_ANSWER>A,B,E,F</STUDENT_ANSWER>

In xsl,how to extract these values and compare with actual answers i have in xml.

Example:
I have xml,where i have this information

<answer correctness="100" value="B"></answer>
<answer correctness="100" value="E"></answer>
<answer correctness="100" value="F"></answer>
<answer correctness="100" value="G"></answer>

what ever user input delimited student answers i need to extract and compare with answer value and let user know how many student scored correctly.

Please let me know,how to take these comma delimited and compare with actual answer?

Thanks,
Vijay

1. Use XSLT 2.0 which has a tokenize() function

2. With XSLT 1.0, go to www.exslt.org, find the str:tokenize template, and incorporate it into your code.

3. Or do the same thing by hand: it's a recursive template that uses substring-before() to extract the content before the first comma, and then calls itself to process the substring-after() the first comma.

Thank you very much for the details.
