RE: [xsl] Check the last character (XSLT V 2.0)

Oh thanks Michael. I was also thinking of same that such function must be
introduced in 2.0. 

Apologies for creating confusion, Entity quest is off course defined in my
current DTD.

Thanks a lot again.

Use the XPath 2.0 ends-with() function.

PS: the string "[#x0003F]" might mean "question mark" to you, but that's a
private convention. It doesn't mean that to the rest of us, and it's likely
to confuse everybody if you assume that everyone understands the meaning of
your data.

Hi,

I've snippet of markup which looks like below, wherein I am trying 
search that the string <articletitle> "ends" with question mark 
[#x0003F].

XML Snippet
===========

<articletitle>A team production theory of corporate 
law&quest;</articletitle>

XSLT
=====

<xsl:when test="contains(string(), '[#x0003F]')">
<!--  Do something  -->
</xsl:when>

The above code works perfect for the above snippet, but obviously 
fails for the below one as it does "contains"
"?"/[#x0003F] but not "ends" with it. I was thinking using regular 
expression to check the last character but thought, taking suggestions 
to handle it in better way before getting my hands into it.


<articletitle>This is a sample&quest; Hello world</articletitle>


Any guidance will be highly appreciated.

Best,

Pankaj Chaturvedi
