Using SubString in XSLT

[microkarl]

All,
I have a problem when writing code on XSLT. I have a string like this: "123454433-56545663". I need to find a way to extract the last 3 digits before the "-" so the result will become: "433", I though about Substring but then I realized I cannot do it because the parameters of Substring is: "string, number, number", and I need to distinguish the "-".
Does anyone have any idea?

Many thanks,
Carl

You can use .IndexOf() to find the location of the hyphen, then use .Substring().

Oops, sorry. I clearly didnt read the XSLT part....

You can use fn:substring-before(string1,string2)

Returns the start of string1 before string2 occurs in it

Example: substring-before(12/10,/)
Result: 12

Then use substring.
