[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Using analyze-string to catch roman numerals?
 Hello all,
Given the following input:
<root>
<head>CHAPTER II. THE WRECKED FOUNDATIONS OF DOMESTICITY</head>
<head>PROBLEMA. HELOISE XXIX.</head>
<head>Selected Letters</head>
<head>The Second Part of Henry IV.</head>
<head>VIII</head>
<head>APPENDIX VII</head>
<head>Appendix VII</head>
<head>APPENDIX</head>
<head>CALVIN XVII</head>
<head>ILLUSTRATION</head>
</root>
and the following template:
<xsl:template match="head">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="not(matches(.,'^(.*?)([IVXL]+)(.*?)$'))">
<xsl:value-of select="lower-case(.)"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="matches(.,'^(.*?)([IVXL]+)(.*?)$')">
<xsl:analyze-string select="." regex="^(.*?)([IVXL]+)(.*?)$">
<xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:value-of select="lower-case(regex-group(1))"/>
<xsl:value-of select="upper-case(regex-group(2))"/>
<xsl:value-of select="lower-case(regex-group(3))"/>
</xsl:matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise/>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
I'm trying to use analyze-string to do the following:
Test for a roman numeral. If there isn't one, lower-case(.). If there
is one, break (.) into its roman numeral and non-roman numeral parts,
lower-case()ing the latter.
The output I get is:
chapter II. the wrecked foundations of domesticity
probLema. heloise xxix.
selected Letters
the second part of henry IV.
VIII
appendIX vii
appendix VII
appendIX
caLVIn xvii
ILLustration
When what I want is this:
chapter II. the wrecked foundations of domesticity
problema. heloise XXIX.
selected letters
the second part of henry IV.
VIII
appendix VII
appendix VII
appendix
calvin XVII
illustration
Between my relative inexperience with both regexes and XSLT, thanks
for any help!
Tony
