Hi, I need to extract the first digit after the decimal point from a number such as 28.56018, which should be '5'.

Since no one came up with the simple solution: $num = "28.56018"; ereg("^[0-9]+\.([0-9]){1}", trim($num), $regs); if($regs[1]) $digit = $regs[1]; else print "no digit found"; My submission for a "simple" solution. I wish I had xslt2 =(

<xsl:template name="firstDigit"> <xsl:param name="number"/> <xsl:value-of select="number(substring(substring-after(number(translate(normalize-space($number),translate(normalize-space($number),'.0123456789',''),'')),'.'),1,1))"/> </xsl:template>
