CALLING XSL PROS please help!

[sethwb]

I've got this statement that says,

<xsl:value-of select="LAUNCHDATE"/>


Unfortunately the format of the launch date is very ugly:

2009-08-19 00:00:00.0

Is there an easy way to just truncate that timestamp (the part that says 00:00:00.0)?

I wound up using the substring(x,x,x) instead because the XML file I'm working from puts a space in front of everything in the field.

cheers,
