Re: [xsl] Pattern Substring

Hi Wendell,
Yes, I admit that the code I have written is not completely correct.
My data format is that it would only contains "055" and the option
number is always prefixed and suffixed with one space char.

Possible  Values are
 Text1 055-0001 Text1
 Text2 X055-0002 Text2
 Text1 J055-0003 Text1
 Text1 K055-0004 Text1

I want to get only the options numbers from the above value.

Thanks,
Senthil

At 02:37 PM 3/3/2010, you wrote:

Hi,
Yes, the Option Number might not start with 55 in some cases, I would
like to handle them as well.

But this amounts to saying "I know that the code I wrote is wrong, and I
would like it to be correct".

What would be correct? Telling us what would be wrong is not, by itself, a
specification.

We can't possibly guess, given what you have told us, what option numbers
there might be in the following examples:

1
Text3 055-0003 Text3 055-0003 Text3
Text4 045-0004
055-0005 Text5
055-0006
0007
8
Text9 9 Text9
Text10 XYZ-0010 Text10
Text11055-0011Text11
12-055 Text12

etc.

I do not have option of moving to XSLT 2.0 at this time.

That's a pity.

Please suggest me ,how this can be done in XSLT 1.0.

It could perhaps be done by a creative use of string functions (similar to
what you have tried), or possibly a recursive string processing algorithm.
Or maybe not. Maybe you need a brute force test against a set of known
values.

Cheers,
Wendell
