Hi Dimitre,
Try whether
http://www.xsltfunctions.com/xsl/functx_escape-for-regex.html
does what you want.
Or simply use a more generally applicable function -- the
f:str-dropWhile() function of FXSL like this:
At first glance, it seems that your example cuts the largest
substring at the end of the string, that is exclusively compound by
some characters in a list.
Yes. This is exactly the task that the OP wants to carry out. To quote:
"Basically the template accepts a string and a list of characters to
remove from the end of the string"
How is this related to escaping a string
regarding regexes? It seems I missed something.
The relation is obvious: with this solution one does not need to
evaluate a RegEx at all.
