I'm still knocking the rust off my brain and I've go to the point where I wish
to split the value of an attribute and concatenate the pieces to return a
second string.
I have attributes in my input document which represent latitude and longitude.
They are presented this way:
34.56.12 N
Where the digits to the left of the first period represent degrees, the digits
between the two periods represent minutes, and the digits between the second
period and the space represent seconds.
The output I'm looking for given the input above is
34deg 56min 12sec N
While I used to be a wiz with regular expression when I regularly programmed in
perl, I have lost it. I would appreciate some guidance.
My idea is to create a function that would perform this string manipulation so
that I could use something like this in my stylesheet:
<Data><xsl:value-of select="coord(@latitude)"/></Data>
<Data><xsl:value-of select="coord(@longitude)"/></Data>
My input would look like:
<location latitude="34.56.12 N" longitude="125.6.15 E"/>
Thanks.
