I have been tasked with trying to find a sentence in a <Para> element similar to the following:
<Para>
Some text...For more information see <CrossReference>ItemofInterest</CrossReference>. Some more text, etc.
</Para>
I have to determine if a sentence of the "For more information see <CrossReference> </CrossReference>." and, ideally delete it, but i would be just as happy to put it in comments.
I was trying the following in a template:
<xsl:template match="CrossReference">
***CROSSREFERENCE_FOUND***
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Para">
<P>
<!-- <xsl:analyze-string select="." regex="For more
+information[^\*]*\*\*\*CROSSREFERENCE_FOUND\*\*\*[^\.\?!]*[\.\?!]"> -->
<xsl:analyze-string select="." regex="(For more information[^\.\?!]*[\.\?!])">
<xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:value-of select="concat('Found', regex-group(1), 'Found end')" />
</xsl:matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</P>
</xsl:template>
Regular <Para> elements are translated to html <P> elements. I had tried to convert the <CrossReference> element to text thinking that would help the search process, but no dice.
Can someone shed some light on how i should approach this and or have an example to share!
Thanks for any help!
