I'm running a stylesheet to perform a statistical analysis of a series of runs
on an Ant build.xml file. One of the tasks is to extract the timing information
from a number of elements in the log file. The timing information is presented
in an attribute in this format: "3 minutes 57 seconds".
I pass this string as a parameter to three named templates to convert the time
information into the same units, viz., seconds. Below is one of these
templates. The problem I have is, apparently, a faulty mental model of the
functioning of xsl:analyze-string.
Looking at it, I see the general form as:
Compare the string to the regular expression.
If there is a match, output something.
If there is no match, output something else.
Given the input "3 minutes 57 seconds", I expect the output of this template to
be "180". Instead, the output is "1800", that is to say, a concatenation of the
values produced in each of the two branches, rather than one or the other.
Can someone explain the operation of this element and how I can get the output
of either one OR the other branch, but not both?
Thanks.
<xsl:template name="extract-minutes-as-seconds">
<xsl:param name="time" />
<xsl:analyze-string select="$time" regex="([0-9]+ minutes)">
<xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:value-of select="60 *
xs:integer((substring-before(regex-group(1),' minutes')))" />
</xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:non-matching-substring>
<xsl:value-of select="'0'" />
</xsl:non-matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
</xsl:template>
