The substring-before function returns the substring of the first argument string that precedes and the substring-after function that follows the first occurrence of the second argument string in the first argument string. The substring function returns the substring of the first argument starting at the position specified in the second argument with length specified in the third argument. If the third argument is not specified, it returns the substring starting at the position specified in the second argument and continuing to the end of the string.Counting starts with 1. ( XSLT stylesheet 1 ). XSLT stylesheet 2 demonstrates a situation where some arguments are out of range or they are not integrals. The returned substring contains those characters for which the position of the character is greater than or equal to the second argument and, if the third argument is specified, less than the sum of the second and third arguments.
