xsl string separation

i have an xml on which i apply an xsl and convert to another xml.

The source xml contains a node which gets repeated like this

<node>123</node>
<node>456</node>
<node>789</node>

I am applying xsl like this 

<Node><xsl:value-of select="MT[@N='node']/@V"/></Node>

the resulting xml is like this

<Node>123 456 789</Node>

it automatically gets separated by space.

But how can get the values separated by some character like * instead of space.

It looks like you are using XSLT 2.0, and the space is appearing because this is the default value of the "separator" attribute. For a different separator such as comma, use

<Node><xsl:value-of select="MT[@N='node']/@V" separator=","/></Node>

Note that in XSLT 1.0, this instruction would only output the first @V attribute and ignore the rest.

You could use a foreach loop in XSLT to append each string, see:
