Subject: [xsl] Pattern Matching a sting value
How in XSLT 1.0 do you interogate a specific portion of a string?
$stg = "font:...;font-family:Arial;color:#FFFFF;...."
I am only interested in the portion of this string that
contains Arial.
Not sure what interested means, if you want to test for the existance
use the boolean contains() function;
contains($stg,'Arial') would return true
Otherwise use the following string based functions
string substring-before(string, string)
string substring-after(string, string)
string substring(string, number, number?)
string concat(string, string, string*)
number string-length(string?)
You might need these as well;
string normalize-space(string?)
string translate(string, string, string)
Check out here for specific techniques;

Otherwise if you want something with regular expressions or more
advanced string handling like replacing text check out www.exslt.org.
