Re: [xsl] matches() method in XPath 1.0

["Piez, Wendell A. (Fed) wendell.piez@xxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Manuel.

XPath 1.0 is pretty limited, but you might be able to accomplish your goal
with something like

substring-before($filename,$suffix) and
not(substring-after($filename,$suffix))

There is no ends-with() in XPath 1.0, regrettably, so one has to concoct one.

But I'm not sure about how to do this with many values at once other than a
string of 'or' clauses....

Good luck,
Wendell

Subject: [xsl] matches() method in XPath 1.0

Dear all,

I have a simple question, hopefully someone can help.

Given some nodes like this:

<text>Some text.</text>
<text>foo.svg</text>

in XPath 2.0 I can match the ones (like the second) that contain a file name
with something like

//text[matches(text(), '[^\s]*\.(svg|png|jpg)')]

That should match the second text node, and not the first.

I am looking for something to achieve the same purpose in XPath 1.0, even if
it's using something like ends-with instead of regex.

Why XPath 1.0? I'd love to use version 2.0 but this is for using the ITS data
categories, which seem not to be compatible with XPath 2.0

Could someone have an idea?
Thank you so much.
