Re: Evaluating last 3 or 4 characters of URL?

2003-05-11 20:09:30
Thanks Charles. I'll make this change. I am a bit tired and I did this as well as != instead of = . It's going to be a slow night. From xsltproc I am getting an XPath error at the first { in the expression which is the first hitch - so
not even getting to evaluate the expression.

XPath error Invalid expression
substring({(_at_)url}, -5, 5)='.html'

Look again carefully. The period before the file extension isn't being counted in the length of the substring you are testing. You will have to change "substring({(_at_)url}, -4, 4)" to substring({(_at_)url}, -5, 5)" if you want to test it against ".html".

Subject:  [xsl] Evaluating last 3 or 4 characters of URL?

I am trying to evaluate the last 3 or 4 characters of a URL
so that I can add javascript in the href attribute.

It is not liking the {(_at_)url}(_dot_)  Is this not just the string value
of the url attribute? Help on the syntax appreciated.
