Subject: Matching on Commas and Full Stops From: Nigel Byrnes <byrnes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 09 Feb 1999 11:27:04 +0000 |
Hi again all When formating the contents of a text node, I want to achieve the sematics of the following regular expression: s/([,\.])\s*/$1\n/g; That is, on the occurance of a comma or fullstop, insert a line-feed (replacing any following whitespace). I have attempted (but failed) to do achieve these semantics in xsl by the following: <xsl:template match="contactAddress"> <!-- this fails for two reasons: --> <!-- 1. The comma is an "unexpected token" --> <!-- 2. The fullstop/period is interpreted as the current node --> <xsl:if test=",|."> <xsl:apply-templates/> <BR></BR> </xsl:if> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="contactAddress"> <!-- Try and use XML entities --> <!-- Fails because XT believes these entities are undefined --> <xsl:if test=", | ."> <BR></BR> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:if> </xsl:template> Does the answer lie in the functions defined in section 2.6.2 of the current XSL WD. Any ideas? Thanks in advance Nigel -- Nigel Byrnes "We continue..." Pete Tong Software Engineering and Applications Group, Philips Research Labs, Redhill. Tel: +44 (0)1293 815578 RH1 5HA.
