David CorleySubject: Regex + XSLT 2.0
Author: David Corley
Date: 11 Dec 2006 04:36 PM
Hey all,
I have a series of strings matching the following format:
"xxxxxxx\xxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxx\xxxxxxx\abcd.java"

I need to remove everything but "abcd".
Can anyone tell me how to do that within the constraints of the xslt-limited regex?

Hi David,

If the you are just looking for the file name you could do a reverse find on the separator and take the last token.

Hope this helps

<xsl:param name="string"/>
<xsl:param name="sep" select="'\'"/>
<xsl:variable name="next" select="substring-after($string, $sep)"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$next">
<xsl:call-template name="findlasttoken">
<xsl:with-param name="string" select="$next"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$string"/>

<xsl:with-param name="string" select="$next"/>
