: for pragmatic "the desired output is straightforward XML" reasons. I need to : take a Solr date value in "2008-10-30T03:28:10.000Z" format and output it as a : GMT formatted date like "Oct 30 2008 03:28:10 GMT-0600". : : Anyone got the incantation handy to make such a conversion in XSLT?
I can't think of anyway to do that since, 03:28:10.000Z is not equivilent to 03:28:10 GMT-0600 ... GMT-0600 is a very differnet timezone then UTC. assuming you mean that you want a way to go from a UTC date in the canonical format to an alternate format in a specified timezone, then i think you need to use some of the XSL dateTime functions i've seen documented here and there -- but i'm pretty sure they require XSL 2.0 (which probably means loading a new XSL library into solr)... http://www.w3schools.com/Xpath/xpath_functions.asp#datetime If you're okay leaving things in UTC, i've seen a lot of people use substring to extract/reformat the constituent parts. -Hoss
