Is there any way in XSLT to convert a numerical value into a hexadecimal representation? Something like a format-number-hex() function perhaps? Dave Lowndes

It should be possible to implement a named template to perform the conversion <URL:http://www.google.de/search?hl=en&q=XSLT+decimal+to+hex+conversion&btnG=Google+Search&meta=>. Or use an extension function. Which XSLT processor are you targetting? -- Martin Honnen --- MVP XML http://JavaScript.FAQTs.com/

Ah, something like this maybe?: http://www.stylusstudio.com/xsllist/200303/post80360.html >Or use an extension function. >Which XSLT processor are you targetting? I'm currently using the MS .Net XSLT facilities but I'm considering switching to another engine for V2 facilities. Dave

>You could use an extension function then implemented in C# e.g. That's the first I've ever heard of such things - that looks much more elegant :) - I'll give that a go. I'm considering using a different XSLT processor because of a bug (https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=314173). Is there an elegant way of doing the hex output in XSLT 2? Dave

Instead of using a named template and xsl:call-template in XSLT 1.0 you can write a named function in XSLT 2.0 and call it with XPath function call syntax everywhere you need it. -- Martin Honnen --- MVP XML http://JavaScript.FAQTs.com/

Thanks once again for all the help Martin. I've tried the named template & the C# script methods, and I'll go with the C# script for now as it provides better (easy) control over the formatting (the result looks better presented with 8 fixed characters - "X8"). Cheers Dave
