strings:join

note

This article is about the strings:join Blend function.

strings:join​

Concatenates, in document order, the string values found in a node set identified by an XPath expression.

Syntax​

Namespace declaration​

You need to declare this namespace only if you call the function directly from the USCSXSL component but outside Blend. In a Blend context (ublendit.exe, uscsxsl.blend()) the namespace is already declared in the Blend transformation, which is in xsl\Util\Batch.1.0.xsl in your USoft installation folder.

xmlns:strings="USoft:Strings"

Function call​

strings:join( *xpath-expression* )

Example​

select uscsxsl.blend(
'<root xmlns:pc="Processing.Command" pc:hideme="true">
     <pc:defs><a>We</a><b>say</b><c h="Hello" w="World"/></pc:defs>
     <pc:value-of select="strings:join(/root/pc:defs/*|/root/pc:defs/*/@*)"/>
 </root>')

The result value is:
