Subject: Re: [xsl] in search for more elegant XPaths From: Martin Honnen <Martin.Honnen@xxxxxx> Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2009 14:59:17 +0200 |
I am thinking about a way to make some XPaths, that I'am using quite often, more "elegant". Please take for example:
<xsl:function name="ln:getCaseType"> <xsl:param name="case" as="element()"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="starts-with($case, 'SG') or starts-with($case, 'LSG') or starts-with($case, 'BSG')">
If you think that regular expressions are more readable then you could use <xsl:when test="matches($case, '^(SG|LSG|BSG)')"> It could even be compacted to <xsl:when test="matches($case, '^[LB]?SG')">
I very often testing for element nodes that have character content with *[string-length(normalize-space(.))>0]
