Hi Nischal -
write a recursive template:
<xsl:template name="name">
<xsl:param name="data">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($data, ' ')">
<xsl:apply-templates select="substring-before($data, ' ')" mode="Name"/>
<xsl:call-template name="name">
<xsl:with-param name="data" select="substring-after($data, ' ')"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$data" mode="Name"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
and put your processing here:
<xsl:template match="text()" mode="Name">
... whatever you want to do with the values
</xsl:template>
this assumes there are no spaces in your values - in that case you will
have to change the substrings, and 'contains()' to check for zero-length
strings.
hth,
