[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Using XSLT to build an index Play the video Subject: Using XSLT to build an index From: "Mark" <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 30 Oct 2011 14:47:34 -0700 The list archives did not seem to contain an XSLT stylesheet that could index an XML file, but I may have missed it. Is it practical to write my own XSLT 2 indexing stylesheet? If so, I have a bilingual XML file that I want to index. My assumptions are that I must get rid of the punctuation properly, then isolate the words, sort them, remove stop words, and so on. To get started, I need a bit of help. All of the phrases are found in two attributes: @czech and @eng. Three questions: (1) I am aware from Michaelbs book that regex expressions may be used in the replace() function, but I do not know how to write that regex expression. I would like to remove all the punctuation from a phrase as follows: for everything except a hyphen [-], replacement should be with an empty string; the hyphen should be replaced with a single space. (2) I assume that to get rid of extra spaces (if any), I can use a construct like: normalize-space(replace(@czech, bsome regex expressionb)). (3) I assume that tokenize(normalize-space(replace(@czech, 'some regex expression'))) will permit me to write out a list of the words found in those attributes to an XML document. I am not completely clear as to what tokenize() returns, or how to access that return. I would appreciate any comments, and especially the construction of the regex expression needed.
