XSL select value of xml attribute as integer

Question

i am trying to select some xml attributes from decimal values to integers. For example

<ItemIn quantity="1.0">

The value of @quantity must be selected as integer i.e. only 1.

I am using

<xsl:value-of select="@quantity">

Is there a way to select quantity as integer i.e. as 1 ?

Thanks.

The question is not clear and the example is ambiguous. What do you want the result be when the given quantity is 1.6? Note that `xsl:value-of` **always** outputs a *text node* - not an *integer* or any other data type. — michael.hor257k, Jul 28 '17 at 17:22
It is quantity of items.. it cannot be decimal value. You cannot buy 1.6 quantity of PC for example. That is why I want to remove the decimal part from it and select it as integer :) — evilsoldier, Jul 29 '17 at 13:56
"*I want to remove the decimal part from it and select it as integer*" Those are two separate things. They just happen to coincide in your example. — michael.hor257k, Jul 29 '17 at 15:26
Yes, maybe you are right about this. Thank you for the comment, i wll have it in mind for my future questions.. — evilsoldier, Jul 30 '17 at 08:24

Use the XSLT format-number() Function with a single # as format like this:

<xsl:value-of select="format-number(@quantity, '#')" />

I suspect a simple `` would be sufficient - at least in the given example. – michael.hor257k Jul 28 '17 at 17:20
Also work, ty. You could ad it as comment if you want. – evilsoldier Jul 30 '17 at 18:21
