String Manipulation in xsl

Hey,

How can I take last four digits of the string. Example I have 123456789213. Any string of unknown length. How would i take just the last four digits of string and making rest as esterisks. so the string above should look like.

xml: 123456789213
output: ********9213

Thankx in advance.

You can use the functions substring, string-length and translate to achieve that:

Code:

<xsl:variable name="s" select="'123456789213'"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="concat(translate(substring($s, 1, string-length($s) - 4), '0123456789', '**********'), substring($s, string-length($s) - 3))"/>
