Subject: [xsl] How to convert a recursive function to a loop, using XSLT 2.0? From: "Costello, Roger L. costello@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 10 May 2019 11:20:49 -0000 |
Hello XSLT experts! My input file consists of a sequence (sourceSeq) of <Byte> elements representing a sequence of null-terminated strings. I want to create a function that returns a sequence of <String> elements. For example, with this sourceSeq: <Byte>48</Byte> <Byte>69</Byte> <Byte>00</Byte> <Byte>4A</Byte> <Byte>69</Byte> <Byte>6C</Byte> <Byte>6C</Byte> <Byte>00</Byte> the function should return: <String>Hi</String> <String>Jill</String> The strings are of variable length. I do not know how many null-terminated strings are in sourceSeq. However, I do know the total number (total-size) of <Byte> elements within sourceSeq containing the null-terminated strings. Below is a recursive way to implement the function. Unfortunately, total-size can be quite large, which means the function recurses many times, resulting in a "Too many nested function calls" error. Is there an iterative way to implement the function? /Roger <xsl:function name="f:make-string-table-entries" as="element(String)*"> <xsl:param name="total-size" as="xs:integer" /> <xsl:param name="current-size" as="xs:integer" /> <xsl:param name="current-position" as="xs:integer" /> <xsl:param name="sourceSeq" as="element(Byte)*" /> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$current-size ge $total-size" /> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:variable name="string" select="f:make-element-from-null-terminated-string('String', $current-position, $sourceSeq)" as="element(String)"/> <xsl:sequence select="$string" /> <xsl:variable name="length" select="string-length($string/text()) + 1"/> <!-- add 1 for the null byte --> <xsl:sequence select="f:make-string-table-entries($total-size, xs:integer($current-size+$length), xs:integer($current-position+$length), $sourceSeq)" /> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:function>
