Bob, I have some data delimited by the ~ character. When I try something like the following: <xsl:template match="record"> <xsl:param name="tokenizedString" select="tokenize(.,'~')"/> <xsl:value-of select="item-at($tokenizedString,1)"/> </xsl:template> I get a message " Unknown system function item-at() Failed to compile stylesheet. 1 error detected." returned by Saxon 8.3. I looked at the function list on the Saxonica webpage (http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/functions/intro.html) and I do not see item-at(). Does item-at() exist? If not how do you access the nth item in the tokenized list? Thanks, Morgan

  I just guessed at the new syntax and it worked with Saxon:

  
  Second item in tokenizedSample:
  {<xsl:value-of select="$tokenizedSample[2]"/>}

  
  Tenth item in tokenizedSample:
  {<xsl:value-of select="$tokenizedSample[10]"/>}
