XSL 1.0 line breaks missing in output - xslt-1.0

I have an XML file for which I have to frame XSL so that my ETL job can process it. Here is what i need.
Input XML
<FS_Sub_Investment_Team>
<Report Name="REPORT">
<MeetTheTeamTableHeading Label="TEAM" />
<MeetTheTeamTable>
<Rows>
<Row ManagerData="ABC EFGHI XYZ" />
<Row ManagerData="ABC PQRST XYZ" />
</Rows>
</MeetTheTeamTable>
<MeetTheTeamNote></MeetTheTeamNote>
</Report>
</FS_Sub_Investment_Team>
Current XSL:
<xsl:template match="/">
<Bio>
<BioText>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//Row/#ManagerData" mode="concat"/>
</BioText>
</Bio>
</xsl:template>
Current Output :
<Bio><BioText>ABC EFGHI XYZABC PQRST XYZ</Bio></BioText>
My expected output is: With line break (or) with space between the two element values, please give me both solutions.
<Bio><BioText>ABC EFGHI XYZ
ABC PQRST XYZ</Bio></BioText>

Try:
<xsl:template match="/">
<Bio>
<BioText>
<xsl:for-each select="//Row">
<xsl:value-of select="#ManagerData" />
<xsl:if test="position()!=last()">
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</BioText>
</Bio>
</xsl:template>
To insert a space instead of a new line, use:
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
instead of:
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>

XSLT 1.0 Select Name field based on evaluation of Date and Time fields

I have XML form data coming in from a vendor app that allows me to select values for fields on the form by using this format.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:diffgr="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-diffgram-v1"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<xsl:output method="text" /><xsl:template match="/"><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="DataSet/diffgr:diffgram/Forms">
<xsl:for-each select="Form">
<xsl:value-of select="FieldName1"/>
<xsl:value-of select="FieldName2"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I can't see the XML, but I can surmise from this that all of the fields are siblings within the <form> and looks something like this:
<form>
<CosignerName1 value="John Doe"/>
<CosignerDate1 value="1/1/1970"/>
<CosignerTime1 value="8:46 PM"/>
<CosignerName2 value="Jane Smith"/>
<CosignerDate2 value="2/2/1972"/>
<CosignerTime2 value="11:46 AM"/>
...
<CosignerName12 value="Will Hunting"/>
<CosignerDate12 value="12/12/1982"/>
<CosignerTime12 value="1:00 AM"/>
</form>
<form>
<CosignerName1 value="Bill Thomas"/>
<CosignerDate1 value="5/5/2020"/>
<CosignerTime1 value="8:46 PM"/>
<CosignerName2 value="Bev Poole"/>
<CosignerDate2 value="6/6/2022"/>
<CosignerTime2 value="11:46 AM"/>
...
<CosignerName12 value="Bob Ross"/>
<CosignerDate12 value="12/12/1982"/>
<CosignerTime12 value="1:00 AM"/>
</form>
Known factors:
Each form has 12 cosigners, each with numbered field names i.e. CosignerName1, CosignerName2, etc.
Each named cosigner also has a CosignerDate and a CosignerTime field associated by number. i.e. CosignerName1 has CosignerDate1 and CosignerTime1 fields that, when combined, show when that user signed the form.
I am using the word 'idnum' in my code and in this question to refer to the number at the end of each label that shows they are part of a set i.e CosignerName1, CosignerDate1, and CosignerTime1 all share idnum=1
Goal: Identify and select only the most recent CosignerName, based on CosignerDate and CosignerTime.
To do this, I figure I need to:
Find the most recent CosignerDate/CosignerTime combination
Read the label of either of the identified fields to extract the idnum from the end
Use the idnum to to identify the correct CosignerName and output it
I have some pieces of the solution, but no way to bring them together:
Create a Timestamp
I can combine a set of CosignerDate[idnum] and CosignerTime[idnum] fields, then translate them into a timestamp. If I could create an array of these timestamps, then I could sort and find the most recent one, but as I understand it XSLT 1.0 doesn't have arrays. So I am not sure what to do with this.
<xsl:variable name="mm" select="substring-before(CosignerDate1,'/')" />
<xsl:variable name="mmyyyy" select="substring-after(CosignerDate1,'/')"/>
<xsl:variable name="dd" select="substring-before($mmyyyy,'/')" />
<xsl:variable name="yyyy" select="substring-after($mmyyyy,'/')" />
<xsl:variable name="ampm" select="substring-after(CosignerTime1,' ')" />
<xsl:variable name="time">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$ampm = 'AM'">
<xsl:value-of select="number(translate(substring-before(CosignerTime1,' '),':',''))" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$ampm = 'PM'">
<xsl:value-of select="number(translate(substring-before(CosignerTime1,' '),':',''))+number('1200')" />
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="concat('Timestamp:',$yyyy,$mm,$dd,$time)"/>
The code above outputs something like: Timestamp:202209191128
Get idnums
I can loop through all of the Cosigners and extract the identifying number shared by their labels.
<xsl:for-each select="*[starts-with(local-name(), 'CosignerName')]">
<xsl:variable name="idnum">
<xsl:value-of select="translate(local-name(),'CosignerName','')" />
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="$idnum"/>
<xsl:value-of select="','"/>
</xsl:for-each>
This code above outputs something like: 1,4,7,12
But, this is where I get lost.
Failed Attempt
I tried something like the code below. The logic was to loop through each Cosigner name (12 iterations), get the idnum from the label, use that to get the CosignerDate and CosignerTime, create a timestamp, then sort the timestamps, if the timestamp we are looking at is the top one (most recent) then use the idnum to select the correct CosignerName and output it.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="mm" select="substring-before(concat(CosignerDate,$idnum),'/')" />
<xsl:variable name="mmyyyy" select="substring-after(concat(CosignerDate,$idnum),'/')"/>
<xsl:variable name="dd" select="substring-before($mmyyyy,'/')" />
<xsl:variable name="yyyy" select="substring-after($mmyyyy,'/')" />
<xsl:variable name="ampm" select="substring-after(concat(CosignerTime,$idnum),' ')" />
<xsl:variable name="time">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$ampm = 'AM'">
<xsl:value-of select="number(translate(substring-before(concat(CosignerTime,$idnum),' '),':',''))" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$ampm = 'PM'">
<xsl:value-of select="number(translate(substring-before(concat(CosignerTime,$idnum),' '),':',''))+number('1200')" />
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="timestamp" select="concat('Timestamp: ',$yyyy,$mm,$dd,$time)"/>
<xsl:sort select="$timestamp" data-type="number" order="descending"/>
<xsl:if test="position() = 1"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This of course fails for several reasons:
the concat with the $idnum doesn't actually pull values from fields
the sort has to be the first thing in the for-each
the sort has to happen after all of the timestamps are created
the sorted list of timestamps still needs to reference which idnum they were generated from
Without being able to create an array of timestamps and idnums, I don't know how you can accomplish this.
Does anyone know how can I get at the CosignerName[idnum] that is correlated with the most recent CosignerDate[idnum]/CosignerTime[idnum]?
I believe you could just sort the CosignerNameX nodes by the individual components of their associated dates and times, as shown in the two other answers I linked to:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/59288030/3016153
https://stackoverflow.com/a/30631073/3016153
However, it might be more efficient - and certainly more readable - to do this in two steps:
Construct a dateTime value for each cosigner;
Find the cosigner with the most recent value.
Consider the following example:
XML
<DataSet xmlns:diffgr="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-diffgram-v1">
<diffgr:diffgram>
<Forms>
<form>
<CosignerName1 value="John Doe"/>
<CosignerDate1 value="1/1/1970"/>
<CosignerTime1 value="8:46 PM"/>
<CosignerName2 value="Jane Smith"/>
<CosignerDate2 value="2/2/1972"/>
<CosignerTime2 value="11:46 AM"/>
<CosignerName12 value="Will Hunting"/>
<CosignerDate12 value="12/12/1982"/>
<CosignerTime12 value="1:00 AM"/>
</form>
<form>
<CosignerName1 value="Bill Thomas"/>
<CosignerDate1 value="5/5/2020"/>
<CosignerTime1 value="8:46 PM"/>
<CosignerName2 value="Bev Poole"/>
<CosignerDate2 value="6/6/2022"/>
<CosignerTime2 value="11:46 AM"/>
<CosignerName12 value="Bob Ross"/>
<CosignerDate12 value="12/12/1982"/>
<CosignerTime12 value="1:00 PM"/>

P.S. With a Microsoft processor you may need to change the namespace declaration:
xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common"
to:
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
and then change the exsl prefix in lines #5 and #39 to msxsl.

XSLT 1.0 split variable string to populate specific tags

I am transferring data from one xml format to another with xslt 1.0. In the input xml, address is in a single field as a string separated by spaces. As far as I can tell, it can come in the following formats considering the identifiers in brackets [] are optional.
<Field Name="address"...>number [cardinal-dir] name st-type [unit#]</Field>
OR
<Field Name="address"...>number [cardinal-dir] name st-type APT APT#</Field>
so the data may look like:
"123 3RD AVE" or "123 NE 3RD AVE" or "123 NE 3RD AVE APT 321" ... you get the picture.
And I need it to appropriately populate the following output format:
<mstns:Address>
<mstns:HouseNumber>123</mstns:HouseNumber>
<mstns:StreetName>NE</mstns:StreetName>
<mstns:StreetType>AVE</mstns:StreetType>
<mstns:Apt>APT</mstns:Apt>
</mstns:Address>
I've seen some similar posts about tokenizing strings in xlst 1.0 but combined with the variable input I'm a bit lost.
As I said in the comments, this is an awful lot of work and the quality of the result will depend on how consistent your data is.
Assuming that:
the first word (and only the first word) is the street number;
the second word may be a street direction identifier, from a known list of street direction identifiers;
the street name is followed by a street type identifier, from a known list of street type identifiers,
you could use the following stylesheet as your starting point:

Note: You may need to use Microsoft's own node-set() extension function, instead of EXSLT.

Dynamically update text nodes in XSLT

I'm trying to update the text nodes in xml based on the check if it matches a certain pattern
in xslt 1.0
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:regexp="http://exslt.org/regular-expressions">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0"/>
<xsl:template match="#*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:call-template name="CheckAndReplace">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="."/>
<xsl:with-param name="pattern" select=""/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="CheckAndReplace">
<xsl:param name="text"/>
<xsl:param name="pattern"/>
<xsl:for-each select="regexp:match( $text, $pattern, 'gi' )">
<xsl:copy-of select="regexp:replace( $text, $pattern, 'gi','*' )"
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
XML:
<Root>
<Name> Kabir </Name>
<Id>  </Id>
</Root>
Here the request has ID tag which matches my pattern and that needs to be replaced
Result Required:
<Root>
<Name> Kabir </Name>
<Id> * </Id>
</Root>
There is no regex in XSLT 1.0. If your goal is to replace all occurrences of the  character with a * then try:
<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:value-of select="translate(., '', '*')" />
</xsl:template>

How to make element with <xsl:attribute> when using <sql:query>

I am using saxonee-sql to connect to a database. How do I make the output xml file like this:
<Partners>
<Partner type="Supplier">
<PartnerName>name 1</PartnerName>
<PartnerDuns>duns 1</PartnerDuns>
</Partner>
<Partner type="Buyer">
<PartnerName>name 2</PartnerName>
<PartnerDuns>dums 2</PartnerDuns>
</Partner>
</Partners>
And this is the xslt:
<xsl:variable name="partner">
<sql:query connection="$connection" table="Partner" column="PartnerDuns,PartnerName,type" row-tag="Partner" />
</xsl:variable>
<Partners>
<xsl:copy-of select="$partner" />
</Partners>
The current output is
<Partners>
<Partner>
<PartnerName>name 1</PartnerName>
<PartnerDuns>duns 1</PartnerDuns>
<type>Supplier</type>
</Partner>
<Partner>
<PartnerName>name 2</PartnerName>
<PartnerDuns>dums 2</PartnerDuns>
<type>Buyer</type>
</Partner>
</Partners>
I suppose you can simply transform the original result with e.g.
<xsl:template match="Partner/*">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Partner/type">
<xsl:attribute name="{name()}" select="."/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Partner">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="type, (* except type)"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
and then use
<xsl:variable name="partner">
<sql:query connection="$connection" table="Partner" column="PartnerDuns,PartnerName,type" row-tag="Partner" />
</xsl:variable>
<Partners>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$partner/*" />
</Partners>
instead of the copy-of.

Reading values of XML tag in variables inside XSLT

I could not find a similar question anywhere, so thats why posting this new question.
I have an XML that I want to read and convert into SQL using XSLT. The trick part is that the XML elements(i.e. the names) are not known and the XSD for the XML is generated on the fly.
But what is known is certain attributes of the elements.
The XML looks like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<et:ItemRecordList xmlns:et="urn:org:easetech:easytest:schema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:org:easetech:easytest:schema ItemRecord.xsd ">
<ItemRecord recordId="idvalue0" tableName="item_record">
<itemId columnName="item_id" idColumn="true" length="36" nullable="false">itemId</itemId>
<databaseInstitution columnName="database_institution" length="255" nullable="false">0</databaseInstitution>
<lastModifiedDate columnName="last_modified_date" length="255" nullable="false">2001-12-31T12:00:00</lastModifiedDate>
</ItemRecord>
</et:ItemRecordList>
I want to use this XML and convert it into an INSERT SQL statement using XXSLT.
I created an XSLT like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" encoding="UTF-8" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="/*/*">
INSERT INTO
<xsl:value-of select="#tableName" />
(
<xsl:for-each select="/*/*/*">
<xsl:variable name="columnName"><xsl:value-of select="#columnName"/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="#columnName">
<xsl:value-of select="$columnName"/>
<xsl:if test="position()!=last()">
<xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
)
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
which gives me the output like this :
INSERT INTO item_record (item_id, database_institution, last_modified_date)
But I don't know how to create the value part of the query. The value is the value we get using
<xsl:value-of select="." />
I tried concatenating the values, but unfortunately concat didnt work for me. I also played around with xsl:variable but couldnt make it work. If someone could help me with the XSLT that I can use to create to output like below that would be really appreciated.
INSERT INTO item_record (item_id, database_institution, last_modified_date) values (itemId,0,2001-12-31T12:00:00)
How about:
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="/*/*">
<xsl:text>INSERT INTO </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="#tableName" />
<xsl:text> (</xsl:text>
<xsl:for-each select="*[#columnName]">
<xsl:value-of select="#columnName"/>
<xsl:if test="position()!=last()">
<xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:text>) values (</xsl:text>
<xsl:for-each select="*[#columnName]">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:if test="position()!=last()">
<xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
The next XSLT will generate the query as wanted
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" />
<xsl:variable name="newline" select="'
'" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="*/*/#tableName" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="#tableName">
<xsl:value-of select="concat('INSERT INTO ', ., ' (')" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="parent::*/*/#columnName" />
<xsl:value-of select="') VALUES ('" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="parent::*/*" mode="values" />
<xsl:value-of select="concat(')', $newline)" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="#columnName">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position() = last()">
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="concat(., ', ')" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" mode="values">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position() = last()">
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="concat(., ', ')" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
