Subject: Re: [xsl] stripping leading and trailing blanks of a value? From: Dimitre Novatchev <dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 9 Mar 2010 09:33:52 -0800 |
This can be done easily even in XSLT 1.0 using the "trim" template of FXSL (1.x). For example, when this transformation (testTrim.xsl): <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:import href="trim.xsl"/> <!-- to be applied on trim.xml --> <xsl:output method="text"/> <xsl:template match="/"> '<xsl:call-template name="trim"> <xsl:with-param name="pStr" select="string(/*)"/> </xsl:call-template>' </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> is applied on this xml document: <someText> This is some text </someText> the following result is produced: 'This is some text' -- Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev --------------------------------------- Truly great madness cannot be achieved without significant intelligence. --------------------------------------- To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk ------------------------------------- Never fight an inanimate object ------------------------------------- You've achieved success in your field when you don't know whether what you're doing is work or play On Tue, Mar 9, 2010 at 9:05 AM, Ben Stover <bxstover@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Assume I have a XML doc where occasionally values appear with leading and trailing blanks similar to > > <aaa> > <bbb> > '3 blanks'somevalue'4 blanks' > </bbb> > </aaa> > > Because blanks are probably removed by the mailing list system I put 'n blanks' in the code above. > In reality real blanks are meant. > > So how can I strip all such leading and trailing blanks (nad line breaks) with XSLT? > > The stripping should applied only to "atomic" values.
