Hello everyone.

I need to be able to extract very specific parts of strings in xslt, and I can't seem to be able to do exactly what I want with the existing string functions. I have different author names, and I need to be able to extract every part of the name independently. The name could be "Mazeyar E. Makoui" or "Kai-Uwe Sattler" or actually anything, so I have no way to know how many parts there are to the names.

I would have like to use a variable that I would strip of its substrings one by one, but since variables are not modifiable, I don't see how to do it. Is there any way to do this?

Well, after much searching and sweating, I managed to do it :) I have an error now that I don't understand, but since it's not directly related, i'll start another thread.
