Dr. Kay, I know you want mulberry to handle XSLT questions, but I cannot get on the list because the US gov. has an entire server blocked that they use. This is a modern forum and the mulberry list is email, so it is not allowed. If there is another forum with a message board such as this then I will be glad to join it. Here is the latest post I tried to get through with: It is a continuation of the same problem I have been struggling with. Your explanation helped me to solve it. I have an element set in my XML document: <RPM> 30.06 40.05 50.07 60.07 70.08 80.12 99.1 100 </RPM> I am attempting to find the largest number and as Dr. Kay pointed out on another forum, using... <xsl:variable name="rpm" select="max( for $i in tokenize($data/DataFile/RunData/RPM/text(),'\r?\n') return number($i) )"/> <xsl:value-of select="$rpm"/> will return the largest number. However I get NaN returned. It will work if the data is arranged as such: <RPM>30.06 40.05 50.07 60.07 70.08 80.12 99.1 100</RPM> Thus, removing the line feeds and new lines at the top and bottom returns 100 instead of NaN (which is what I get because the tokenize creates 2 extra nodes at the top and bottom. My question is this: How can I create a node set from the above without tokenizing that is passed to the max() function (I think it needs the format max("1,2,3")) and will return what I need? Do I use the document function? There is another way to do this (as demonstrated in Sal Mangano's XSLT Cookbook) but I am trying to use 2.0 features. Thanks ahead of time. Curtis Fisher
