AW: [xsl] struggling with <xsl:analyze-string>

["Huditsch Roman" <Roman.Huditsch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi David,

Thank you very much for your quick answer.

Unfortunately, the structure given may vary very much, meaning that there may
be
additional levels or <inline> elements to search within.
But I should be able to use
following::* then.
Don't know if that performs better. Does it?

Ah, that makes it a lot clearer. Thanks.

That could indeed be the case. I just started to learn the new functions and
instructions dealing with regular expressions, so I am a total newbie here.
If I use the matches function in my select expression, how can I pass my found
date
to the named template?

Here is what I tried (input is the same as before):

<xsl:template match="/document">
	<bekanntmachung ordnungszeichen="Paragraf">
		<xsl:attribute name="gilt-ab">
			<xsl:choose>
				<xsl:when test="part/section/par[@class='45_UeberschrPara' and contains(.,
'In-Kraft-Treten')]">
					<xsl:for-each select="part/section/par[@class='45_UeberschrPara' and
contains(text(), 'In-Kraft-Treten')]/following::*">
						<!-- This regular expression is not working -->
						<xsl:analyze-string select="." regex="\d{{1,2}}.\s\w+.\s\d{{4}}" >
							<xsl:matching-substring>
								<xsl:value-of select="."/>
								<xsl:call-template name="get.date">
									<xsl:with-param name="text" select="." as="xs:string"/>
								</xsl:call-template>
							</xsl:matching-substring>
						</xsl:analyze-string>
					</xsl:for-each>
				</xsl:when>
				<xsl:otherwise>
					<xsl:text>01.01.1000</xsl:text>
				</xsl:otherwise>
			</xsl:choose>
		</xsl:attribute>
	</bekanntmachung>
</xsl:template>

In my output the attribute "gilt-ab" is empty. Since I have never written any
regular expresson before,
there is surely something wron with it. I strongly suspect the "." in it.
The regular expression should match strings like "1. Jdnner 2004", "12.
Dezember 2003" etc.

Thank you very much for your patience!
