Subject: RE: [xsl] test if string contains an apostraphe From: "LAJ" <shaard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2001 22:43:34 +0100 |
I came across this one myself a few weeks ago - stumped me for a while - and its so remarkably simple I slapped myself when I saw it. <xsl:if test='contains($string, "'")'> Lee -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Heather Lindsay Sent: 03 July 2001 20:27 To: 'xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [xsl] test if string contains an apostraphe hi, I am trying to test if a string contains an apostraphe but am unable to get the contains() function to work with it. Ordinarily to test if a string contains some text you would have: <xsl:if test="contains($string,'text')"> where the text you are testing for is in single quotes. Along those lines, I tried: <xsl:if test="contains($string, ''')"> which gave me the following error: org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLProcessorException: pattern = 'not(contains($string, ''')' misquoted literal... expected single quote! I tried it with double quotes around the substring <xsl:if test="contains($string, "'")"> but this is not well-formed XML. I also tried it like this: <xsl:if test="contains($string, ')"> and <xsl:if test="contains($string, ''')"> but got exceptions like the one above. Has anyone done anything like this?
