Re: breaking string into substrings or arrays

2005-04-19 08:56:02

In my project I am dealing with at least 10 delimeters ? 

If you don't need to do different things for different delimiters, then:
 
The XPath2 tokenize function allows the delimiter to be specified by a
regular expression, so in that case you can just specify whatever you
want, eg ^[a-zA-Z]+ for any run of non (ascii) letters being a
delimiter.

If using xslt1 substring function it's easier to normalise first:
<xsl:variable name="x" select="normalize-space(translate(Value,',;.[]','     
'))"/>
would give a value of $x as
"Alpha Beta Gamma Alpha Beta"
given your posted input, which you then pass to an XSLT1 tokenizing
template.
