Re: [xsl] another beginner question - strip directory info from variable

["Terry Badger terry_badger@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dave,B Try this using xsl:value-of to bring the strings together as one and
use them in xsl:analyse-srting to create a group for each item you want.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; exclude-result-prefixes="xs"
version="2.0"> <xsl:param name="string-1"
as="xs:string">dir1/jpg001.jpg</xsl:param> <xsl:param name="string-2"
as="xs:string">dir2/jpg002.jpg</xsl:param> <xsl:param name="string-3"
as="xs:string">dir3/jpg003.jpg</xsl:param> <xsl:variable name="string"
select="$string-1, $string-2, $string-3"/> <xsl:variable name="string-all">
<xsl:value-of select="$string"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:template name="main">
<main> <xsl:analyze-string select="$string-all"
regex="(([a-z0-9]*)/([a-z0-9\.]*) ?)"> <xsl:matching-substring> <group> <path>
<xsl:value-of select="regex-group(2)"/> </path> <file> <xsl:value-of
select="regex-group(3)"/> </file> </group> </xsl:matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string> </main> </xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>

Hi Dave b

It looks like the list is being helpful to you. There is something you could
do in the future to be helpful to the list: focus your subject lines on the
topic of the question. In this case, "strip directory info from variable"
would have been a far better subject line than "another beginner question -
strip directory info from variableb. This is because many people refer to
the list archives and third-party list archives by scanning subject lines to
find discussions that may help them. By making the subject line about you and
not about your topic you make reuse of the discussion much more difficult.

It seems to me that many people may have your question and this discussion
would be helpful to them, too.

Thanks for making a moment to think about subject lines before your future
posts to XSL-list.

b Tommie
