Simulate string-join(text(),'') by concat(text()[1],text()[2],...,text()[k]) for any finite chosen value k. This works in XPath 1.0 given that k is chosen big enough. Sample: $ xpath++ "concat(/a/text()[1],/a/text()[2],/a/text()[3])" mixed.xml 13 $ Mit besten Gruessen / Best wishes, Hermann Stamm-Wilbrandt Developer, XML Compiler, L3 Fixpack team lead WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IBM Deutschland Research & Development GmbH Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Martin Jetter Geschaeftsfuehrung: Dirk Wittkopp Sitz der Gesellschaft: Boeblingen Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 243294 From: Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: 12/22/2010 05:52 PM Subject: Re: Novice Question - matching entire text children Hermann, On 12/22/2010 2:29 AM, Hermann Stamm-Wilbrandt wrote: > Hi Wendell, > >> "normalize-space(text())" will do the same without copying the text >> nodes into the variable first, if that's what you're asking. > > that is exactly the point, it does not do the same thing without copying! Oops, you are correct! I forgot the single-node semantics of normalize-space(). In XPath 2.0: normalize-space(string-join(text(),'')) In XPath 1.0 you're stuck, just as you feared.
