Hey Paulie...I'm a big fan of your xpath stuff as you may recall ... I need to do what you've done but I'm starting with a string of 12, 14, 16 etc...for each I want to split on the comma, do an xpath on each row and get a lookup value for what 12 is, 14 is, 16 is, etc... I know I can do a regular for each loop but that takes time... do you suggest a quicker way... I'll then use your join method to put it back as ultimately I want the text translations of 12, 14 and 16 so the output is "ABC, XYZ, YYY" in a single string...
