Subject: Re: [xsl] check the type of the $pattern argument to a regular expression? From: Abel Braaksma <abel.online@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2007 11:41:48 +0200 |
This is one way to way check if a pattern is valid:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:regex="java.util.regex.Pattern" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/">
<xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:value-of select="saxon:try(regex:compile(']['), 'false')"/> </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This attempts to compile the regex using Java, and catches the PatternSyntaxException using Saxon SA's saxon:try() function. In this case it returns "false" because "][" is invalid.
