What I really want to do is reorganize strings that contain, for example
"(Mrs),", " (Dr)," and " (senior),". (There is a space in front of each that
also needs to be removed during the reorganization.) Such that:
<Person>Jones (senior), John</Person> becomes <Person>Jones, John (senior)</Person>
But only when the <Person> element contains the substring "),"; all other <Person>elements should not be touched For instance,
<Person>Smith, Ralph J.</Person>
Would remain unchanged.
Does the following do what you want?
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0">
<xsl:template match="@* | node()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Person">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:value-of select="replace(., '(\w+)(\s+\(\w+\))?(,\s+\w+)', '$1$3$2')"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
