Hallo again,

I am sorry that I am asking many questions nowadays.

My problem is:

I have defined a parameter (with-param) like

<xsl:with-param name="containername" select="contains('#1#2#3#', concat('#', bar, '#'))"/>

so I checked this parameter in a template and for example 2 is missing in XML file. How can I write it down that 2 is missing? I cannot call it via $containername it gives me the result if it is true or false. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't understand the question.

You seem to have worked out that "containername", despite its name, is not a string but a boolean (true or false). So it's not what you want, but you haven't explained clearly what you do want.

What I want is somethinh like this.

for example I checked it with xsl:if or xsl:when and the value 2 is missing. How can I show that 2 is missing in this sort of array (I named this #1#2#3# as array) I hope I could make me understand.

I am having anoher question. For instance I have this #2#4#5# string and I want to make it written in XSLT 1.0 like 2,4, or 5. Which functions should I use for it?

String manipulation is much easier in XSLT 2.0.

In 1.0 you just have to work with substring-before, substring-after, and so on. There are some templates and functions available in EXSLT (www.exslt.org) that can make your life a bit easier.
