XSLT - String manipulation 1

[ddrillich]

Good Day,

The variable ref contains a value that might or might not contain a period and the following code fails on the last line.

<xsl:choose>

 <xsl:when test="contains($ref,'.')">
      <xsl:variable name="refCut6" select="substring-before($ref, '.')"  />
 </xsl:when>

 <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:variable name="refCut6" select="$ref"  />
 </xsl:otherwise>

</xsl:choose>

<xxx><xsl:value-of select="$refCut6"/></xxx>

Any ideas?

Regards,
Dan

This makes $refCut6 in-scope.
[tt]
<xsl:variable name="refCut6">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($ref,'.')">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($ref, '.')" />
</xsl:when>
<xsltherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$ref" />
</xsltherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
<xxx><xsl:value-of select="$refCut6"/></xxx>
[/tt]
