Hi
I'm using the Apache XSLT processor Xalan to transform XML documents - unfortunately
I am restricted to this processor for various reasons but the main one is
that I am working with very large XML documents and it's seems to be the only processor
to be able to cope with huge documents.

Unfortunately Xalan implements Xpath 1.0 - one of my tasks involves flushing out
some unwanted data - I thought regular expressions could solve my problem until I realised
that only XPath 2.0 supports regexs.

I'm wondering if there is another way around this in Xpath 1.0??

Many thanks
Edel

Hi Edel,

Could you show us an example of input and the desired output?

Sure...
<xsl:for-each select="TermList/Term">
<xsl:variable name="term">
<xsl:value-of select="String"/>
</xsl:variable>

Here I want to check if the $term contains (\w,\s) - i.e. a character, followed by a comma and a space.
If it doesn't then I want to output the $term
<variant value="{$term}"/>

</xsl:for-each>

Help much appreciated

If you running on XalanJ (with JVM 1.4 or above) You could use a java extension
Here is an example:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/xalan/java">

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="java:replaceAll('aaaa', '[a-z]','Q') "/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/xalan/java">

<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:variable name="term" select="'a, '"/>

<xsl:if test="java:matches($term, '\w,\s')">
<xsl:value-of select="$term"/>
</xsl:if>

</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
