Hi Simon,
Does anyone know if tokenize() has made it into the new xsl? I could
really do with it at the mo :-)
Yes. XPath 2.0 has a tokenize() function with the signature:
tokenize(string, pattern, flags?)
where string is the string to tokenize, pattern is a regular
expression that describes the delimiters used in the string and the
optional argument flags controls whether the regular expression is
applied in multiline and/or case-insensitive mode.
For example, to split up the string "2003-04-16T13:42:00" into the
sequence ("2003", "04", "16", "13", "42", "00"), you can use:
tokenize('2003-04-16T13:42:00', '[-:T]')
and to tokenize a string on whitespace, the second argument should be
'\s+'.
Cheers,
Jeni
