Hi, where does the XSLT 2.0 spec say that neither matching-substring nor non-matching-substring is executed if there is no occurrence of any text matching the regex? Is this a bug in Saxon 7.3? Here is an example: <xsl:transform version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:variable name="data"> Palaver palaver pullover andover hover mover bother brother mother. </xsl:variable> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:analyze-string select="$data" regex="diagnosis"> <xsl:matching-substring> <FOUND><xsl:value-of select="."/></FOUND> </xsl:matching-substring> <xsl:non-matching-substring> <NOT><xsl:value-of select="."/></NOT> </xsl:non-matching-substring> </xsl:analyze-string> </xsl:template> </xsl:transform> this finds nothing at all, just discards the string, when I ask for some regex that is in the string then it works as expected. I can't find the specification saying that the string not matching at all is a special case. And if it does, then isn't it a bit awkward? Wouldn't the intuitive behavior be that the whole non-matching text gets fed to the non-matching-substring side of it? thanks, -Gunther -- Gunther Schadow, M.D., Ph.D. gschadow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Medical Information Scientist Regenstrief Institute for Health Care Adjunct Assistant Professor Indiana University School of Medicine tel:1(317)630-7960 http://aurora.regenstrief.org XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
