RE: breaking string into substrings or arrays

2005-04-19 08:48:13
Hi,

I have the same problem but with more delimeters, i can't know the kind of the 
first delimeter. 
  e.g  <Value>[Alpha, Beta; Gamma: Alpha .Beta]</Value> 

In my project I am dealing with at least 10 delimeters ? 
  
can I use tokenize() ? should I  download libraries to use this function?


Quoting Michael Kay <mike(_at_)saxonica(_dot_)com>:

In XSLT 1.0 you have a choice:

(a) write a recursive template that bites off one token each time it's
called using substring-before

(b) use a tokenize() function from a library such as EXSLT (www.exslt.org).

In 2.0 use the built-in tokenize() function, or xsl:analyze-string.

Hi

Is it possible to break up a text() node which contains a 
string for e.g.

<Value>[Alpha, Beta, Gamma]</Value>

into

<Value>Alpha</Value>
<Value>Beta</Value>
<Value>Gamma</Value>

?
Is there any equivalent for arrays in XPath to break a long string as 
above based on a token such as comma (,) ?

Regards
Rahil
