Re: [xsl] Regular expression to exclude files

["Eliot Kimber eliot.kimber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not going to do that.


With the collection() function I can use a predicate to filter the resulting
metadata maps:

let $family := 'utah',
$collectionUri := environment-variable('HOME') || '/git/' ||
$family || '/doc/source' || '?metadata=yes' ||
'&match=' || encode-for-uri('.+\.ditamap'),
$mapFiles := collection($collectionUri)[not(matches((tokenize(.?name,
'/')[last()]), '^(bundle-|publication_|now-|itsa-|_|qa-).+'))],
$pairs := $mapFiles?name ! tokenize(., '/')[last()] ! concat(., ':', .)
return $pairs => sort() => string-join(';')

And that seems to work OK.

I was just curious if I could do it with a single (simple) regex in XPath.

Cheers,

E.

classically that would be

|[^fb]|f[^o]|fo[^o]|b[^a]||ba[^r]).*\.txt
