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:
