Does XSLT have a Split() function?

Question

I have a string in a node and I'd like to split the string on '?' and return the last item in the array.

For example, in the block below:

<a>
    <xsl:attribute name="href">
        /newpage.aspx?<xsl:value-of select="someNode"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
    Link text
</a>

I'd like to split the someNode value.

Edit: Here's the VB.Net that I use to load the Xsl for my Asp.Net page:

Dim xslDocPath As String = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/someXslt.xsl")
Dim myXsltSettings As New XsltSettings()
Dim myXMLResolver As New XmlUrlResolver()

myXsltSettings.EnableScript = True
myXsltSettings.EnableDocumentFunction = True

myXslDoc = New XslCompiledTransform(False)
myXslDoc.Load(xslDocPath, myXsltSettings, myXMLResolver)

Dim myStringBuilder As New StringBuilder()
Dim myXmlWriter As XmlWriter = Nothing

Dim myXmlWriterSettings As New XmlWriterSettings()
myXmlWriterSettings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Auto
myXmlWriterSettings.Indent = True
myXmlWriterSettings.OmitXmlDeclaration = True

myXmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(myStringBuilder, myXmlWriterSettings)

myXslDoc.Transform(xmlDoc, argumentList, myXmlWriter)

Return myStringBuilder.ToString()

Update: here's an example of splitting XML on a particular node

Use a recursive method:

<xsl:template name="output-tokens">
    <xsl:param name="list" /> 
    <xsl:variable name="newlist" select="concat(normalize-space($list), ' ')" /> 
    <xsl:variable name="first" select="substring-before($newlist, ' ')" /> 
    <xsl:variable name="remaining" select="substring-after($newlist, ' ')" /> 
    <id>
        <xsl:value-of select="$first" /> 
    </id>
    <xsl:if test="$remaining">
        <xsl:call-template name="output-tokens">
            <xsl:with-param name="list" select="$remaining" /> 
        </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
