hi
I am sorry i do not want to evaluate the xpath expression. i would like to have
the last segment of the xpath statement as i would be using that same string to
name a control in my xhtml page. thus a control in an xhtml page and the node
in an xml document would be matched and i can put the value thus entered from
the user browser into the respective tag. thus i have to get the last string
which represents a node in an xml document and name an xhtml control with the
same. i hope i am clear
with regards,
Prasad
aha, sorry didnt mean to change your question....sometimes folks get
confused
this is easier.....u need a tail like function
TEST XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test xmlns:xforms='http://www.example.org/xforms'>
<xforms:bind nodeset="/Exam/ExamMetaData/Title"/>
</test>
TEST XSLT
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version = '1.0'
xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'
xmlns:xforms='http://www.example.org/xforms'>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
<xsl:variable name="variable" select="/test/xforms:bind/@nodeset"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
nodeset: <xsl:value-of select="$variable"/>
last segment name: <xsl:call-template name="tail">
<xsl:with-param name="string" select="$variable"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="tail">
<xsl:param name="string" select="."/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="substring-after($string,'/')">
<xsl:call-template name="tail">
<xsl:with-param name="string"
select="substring-after($string,'/')"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$string"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
should result in printout of nodeset value and last segment value
if you want to reuse then just wrap call template in a variable;
<xsl:variable name="desiredresult">
<xsl:call-template name="tail">
<xsl:with-param name="string" select="$variable"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
though be careful with whitespace....
