Subject: [xsl] Splitting a String Request From: Mike Ferrando <mikeferrando@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2002 15:09:52 -0800 (PST) |
Dear Friends, Could someone give me the syntax for splitting a string? What I have presently is: <PERSNAME ENCODINGANALOG="100$a" ROLE="cmp">Abbott, Frank</PERSNAME> What I would like is: <PERSNAME ENCODINGANALOG="100$a" ROLE="cmp" NORMAL="Abbott, Frank">Frank Abbott</PERSNAME> It is possible that there might be an inverted title in these names: (Mrs.; Miss; Sir; Mme.; Lady) <PERSNAME ENCODINGANALOG="700$a" ROLE="lyr">Shacklock, C. L., Mrs.</PERSNAME> What I would like would be: <PERSNAME ENCODINGANALOG="700$a" ROLE="lyr" NORMAL="Shacklock, C. L., Mrs.">C. L. Shacklock, Mrs.</PERSNAME> The best thing to do might be to first search out all the names with titles and make a list. Run the xsl style sheet and then go back and edit or correct this small group of names. That might make the whole style sheet less complicated. I was thinking that it would be nice if I could retain the UTF-8 coding (André instead of the usual output of é). Would it be a problem to use copy-of instead of value-of, since I am going to split a string?
