With XPath 2.0, what is the easiest way to split a string into a
sequence of strings of length one e.g.
"Kibology" into ("K", "i", "b", "o", "l", "o", "g", "y")
I came up with e.g.
for $index in 1 to string-length("Kibology")
return substring("Kibology", $index, 1)
but wonder whether there is a shorter/easier way.
Not sure about 'easier', let alone 'faster' (I'm sure it isn't), but it
is 40% shorter, to ~48 chars (choose the token wisely):
tokenize(replace('Kibology', '(.)', '$1~'), '~')
Wannabe sure of the token not being in your string, use Private Use Area
characters:
tokenize(replace('Kibology', '(.)', '$1'), '')
but this doubtlessly makes it less readable and a bit larger ;)
