Is there a trunc() function in XPath?

[swim]

Hi All,

XPath provides math operation functions such as round(). But I want to TRUNCATE a real-type value.

Is there a function like trunc() in XPath?

Thanks.

There is not a truncate function. Basically you get "floor()" and "ceiling()" functions, which are great if you're trying for the integer value.

Here's an XPath function Reference:

Neither does EXSLT.ORG (

http://www.exslt.org/)

appear to have and extension for this.

As far as I an tell, if you're looking to round to a fixed number of decimal places instead of the integer value, you'll have to do it the old-fashioned way:
i.e. Multiply by 1XXXX, Round, Divide by 1XXXX. Hope this helps.
