Subject: RE: [xsl] is there a String indexOf() function in Xpath? From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2005 22:33:21 +0100 |
XSLT 2.0 and XQuery both provide the ability to write your own functions, and as DC showed, this one can be written as a simple composition of two functions in the core library. The WG has been trying to keep the number of functions down to a minimum, and anything that can be constructed so easily from existing functions tends to get short shrift. (With a few exceptions like exists() and empty(), of course...)
