& XSLT Hi Jim,

Thanks for your reply.
'<xsl:' is prefixed just for example purpose. Pls ignore it.

By using substring-before comma I am able to get
<city> Charles Army Street; Boston</city>

but substring-after comma gives me 'Ma 01779'

I want this also to be split as
<state> Ma</state>
<zip> 01779</zip>

How can I use substring-after to first store 'Ma 01779' into some
variable and then I can use substring-before and substring-after space
to get the values in different tags.

Pls suggest.
