will be available in XPath 2.0. It's not difficult to do by writing extension
functions, using any of the Java processors together with the regex libraries in
JDK 1.4, especially if all that you want is a boolean "match"
function.

Hi,
I was wondering if anybody knows of an extension function to
XPath which allows me to match text and attribute values in XML documents
against regular expressions. I'd like to be able to write something
like:
/a/b[re:match(@c,
'{.}')]
to match all elements where an attribute has a value matching
the regexp {.} (AVT) or:
/a/b/@c[re:match(.,
'{.}')]
to match the attribute elements themselves.
If there isn't such a thing yet I imagine it shouldn't be to
hard to write. Can somebody give me some hints/directions on how to get
started with this?
Thanks,
--
