Subject: Pattern Matching a sting value
How in XSLT 1.0 do you interogate a specific portion of a string?
$stg = "font:...;font-family:Arial;color:#FFFFF;...."
I am only interested in the portion of this string that
contains Arial.
Not sure what interested means, if you want to test for the existance
use the boolean contains() function;
contains($stg,'Arial') would return true
Otherwise use the following string based functions
string substring-before(string, string)
string substring-after(string, string)
string substring(string, number, number?)
string concat(string, string, string*)
number string-length(string?)
You might need these as well;
string normalize-space(string?)
string translate(string, string, string)
Check out here for specific techniques;

Otherwise if you want something with regular expressions or more
advanced string handling like replacing text check out www.exslt.org.

Jim,
specifically I have a attribute that contains many values that I have to
break apart and set to individual attribute values so
a string that contains
"color:#FFFFF;font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold;" I would need to
select only the value begining after the : in font-family and ending
with;before font-weight.
Do any of the string function above support the functionality I am
looking for? Thanks for the tip on the contains function. Already using
that function to determine if a attribute string value contains
font-family in the first place.
