How to get date on xslt file

Question

I have a header path and there should be current system date along with a string.

<xsl:template name="GetHeaderLine">
<xsl:text>A</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>Agency</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="Date"/>

The output should be

A,Agency{CurrrentDate},

How can i fetch current date on xslt...?

Easy with XSLT 2.0, bit more involved in XSLT 1.0. Check out this answer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1575111/can-an-xslt-insert-the-current-date — Zyga, Jul 24 '13 at 11:49

If you are using XPath2, use: current-date()

but instead of this:

<xsl:text>A</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>Agency</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="Date"/>

I'd be tempted to use something more akin to:

<xsl:value-of select="concat('A,Agency',current-date())"/>

I use

<xsl:variable name="now">
    <xsl:value-of select="document(&apos;http://xobjex.com/service/date.xsl&apos;)/date/utc/@stamp"/>
</xsl:variable>

And then you can use the bits you need. You can add "?offset=" to the url for different time zones.

You'll need to call the variable using . like so: Today is : – user2532030 Dec 09 '13 at 16:08
