Have you tried to use RegEx-es with the matches() and replace() function?
You could create an <xsl:function> for a frequently used (sub)
expression anduse such function(s) within future expressions, thus
gaining in usability, readability and reliability, not to mention
saving a lot of time.

Hi,
I am thinking about a way to make some XPaths, that I'am using quite
often, more "elegant".
Please take for example:
<xsl:function name="ln:getCaseType">
<xsl:param name="case" as="element()"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="starts-with($case, 'SG') or
starts-with($case, 'LSG') or starts-with($case, 'BSG')">
<xsl:text>sozial</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="starts-with($case, 'ArbG') or
starts-with($case, 'LAG') or starts-with($case, 'BAG')">
<xsl:text>arbeit</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
...
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:function>
Is there a way to "normalize" those multiple starts-with()?
I very often testing for element nodes that have character content with
*[string-length(normalize-space(.))>0]
I am sure that you can point me to a better filter expression...
Thanks a lot,
Roman
