Yes, i'm doing an exact match. I was thinking of using keys but i don't
know how to use it for these kind of look-up, i'm more familiar with
using keys in grouping.
Suppose i have this input:
<root>
<p>I have some text that has the words abaissassent and abandonnent.</p>
</root>
How do i use keys so that i can have this output?
<root>
<p>I have some text that has the words abais�AD;sassent and
aban�AD;donnent.</p>
</root>
heres a sample of the look-up table:
<root>
<wordlist>
<entry>
<search>abaissassent</search>
<replace>abais­sassent</replace>
</entry>
<entry>
<search>abaissèrent</search>
<replace>abais­sèrent</replace>
</entry>
<entry>
<search>abandonnent</search>
<replace>aban­donnent</replace>
</entry>
</wordlist>
</root>

You seem to be doing exact matching on the words in your dictionary, not
regular expression matching as your use of matches() would suggest. With
exact matching you can use a key for the lookup which will be dramatically
faster.

Subject: [xsl] XSLT Solution for hyphenation
Hi list,
I have this project that applies hyphenation to an XML
document using a list of words as a reference. The list of
words can reach up to a million entries.
My XSLT solution was having a template that matches text()
nodes then insert hyphens to the matching words that are in
the list. However the transformation takes to long to finish
even for a relatively small file (around 1mb). Is there
anyway to speed this or is there a better solution?
Here's my stylesheet:
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*|element()|comment()|processing-instruction()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:variable name="str" select="."/>
<xsl:variable name="searchStrs" as="xs:string*"
select="$search-words[matches($str,.)]/replace(.,'[.\\?*+{}()\
[\]\^\$|]',
'\\$0')"/>
<xsl:value-of
select="ati:replace-all($str,$searchStrs,$replaceStr)"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:function name="ati:replace-all">
<xsl:param name="input" as="xs:string"/>
<xsl:param name="words-to-replace" as="xs:string*"/>
<xsl:sequence select="if (exists($words-to-replace)) then
ati:replace-all(replace($input, $words-to-replace[1],
key('replace',$words-to-replace[1],$search-words)),remove($wor
ds-to-replace,1))
else $input"/>
</xsl:function>
heres a sample of the look-up table:
<root>
<wordlist>
<entry>
<search>abaissassent</search>
<replace>abais­sassent</replace>
</entry>
<entry>
<search>abaissèrent</search>
<replace>abais­sèrent</replace>
</entry>
<entry>
<search>abandonnent</search>
<replace>aban­donnent</replace>
</entry>
</wordlist>
</root>
so if i have a "abaissassent" in a text() node this will be
replaced with "aban­donnent".
