creating a variable

[acsooley]

In xsl i would like to create a variable

<xsl:variable name="adam" select="$adam, new"/>

this seems not to work for me. I am in a for-each loop and would like to keep adding the variable + text like in jsp when you can say

String a = "3";
a = a + "7";
a = a + "6";
a = a + "9";

out.println(a);

Is there a way to add a variables value to its self?

I fighted with the same problem back in autumn when I was studying XSL and came to a sad conclusion: no, you can not add (or subtract or basicly anything) a value of a variable. In another words, a variable in XSL is not a variable in common programming language sense :/

For example, making a for-loop is very tricky (not impossible) and has to be done with recursive function.

I'm sad to say, that you'll to think some other solution to your problem (or ask someone wiser...)
