Subject: Re: [xsl] Converting a string to Uppercase or Lowercase without using translate() ? From: "G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2007 14:28:32 -0500 |
I'm trying to convert a string to uppercase before using it in a select statement using XSLT 1.0, and for now I'm using translate() as follows:
<xsl:variable name="pClubCaps" select="translate($pClub, 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSSTUVWXYZ')" />
where $pClub is a parameter passed to the stylesheet from a JSP page. Of course, converting to lowercase would simply require the second and third parameters of translate() to be switched.
I was wondering if there's a nicer way of converting strings to upper or lower case, rather than using translate()?
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY lower 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'> <!ENTITY upper 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'> ]> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:variable name="pClubCaps" select="translate($pClub,'&lower;','&upper;')"/>
