Hi Chen,



Can you post a sample of your XML?  Its much easier to help you test and/or 
transform your XML when we have a sample to work with.



Best regards,

Subject: Re: [xsl] Bit test in XSLT









I want to test a attribute which has a number value, though numbers are in 
string forms, if one of the bit of number is set.For example,



 <xsl:if test="bit 7 of Flags is 1">
   ...
 </xsl:if>

I find it seems impossbile to use XLST to implement this function.
Is anybody has some magic soluction?

Thanks,
Chen Yi

The XPath 1.0 data model only maintains strings for attribute values.



Any testing you need to do will have to treat the attribute as a string 
value, and decode what you want from that string, which includes 
converting the string to a number if you need to.



I'm not at all sure what you are asking for when you ask about a bit being 
set ... I associate that with bits of a byte or word expressed typically 
in decimal or hex.



I hope this helps.
