&quot;last&quot; would only work for elements,<br />
not for words seperated by spaces<br />
<br />
you need to process the string recursively,<br />
I will post an example in a minute<br />
<br />
<br />
Cheers!

Jamie,

"last" would only work for elements,
not for words seperated by spaces

Jamie,<br />
<br />
in order for the recursive template to work,<br />
I add a normalize-space in the first call to the template<br />
the reason is that otherwise there is a trailing space (possibly)<br />
that breaks the test<br />
<br />
in the otherwise, you can call your remove trailing dot template to remove the '.' after the out<br />
<br />
cheers<br />

Is it possible to extract the last word in an element tag?<br />
<br />
For example:<br />
<br />
&lt;TEXT&gt; This is making me rip my hair out. &lt;/TEXT&gt;<br />
<br />
Is there a way to just get the last word, &quot;out&quot; out? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I tried using the following, without success.<br />
<br />
&lt;xsl:param name=&quot;last&quot; select=&quot;($arg/*[position()<wbr /> = last()])&quot;/&gt;<br />
<br />
Any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
Best regards,<br />
Jamie

Extract the last word in an element tag XSLT

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.

Web Languages and Standards

Extensible Markup Language (XML) refers to the encoding of documents such that they can be read by both machines and humans. XML documents use tags to show the beginning and end of a set of data. XML is used extensively on websites to show volumes of data, and is the default for a number of office productivity suites. This topic includes discussions of XML-related technologies, such as XQuery (the XML Query language), XPath (the XML Path language), XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations), XLink (the XML Linking language) and XPointer (the XML Pointer language).
