Re: [xsl] Testing for upper and lower case

Hi Andy,
I don't understand regex, so I could not have composed these expressions.
Do any of these test only the first letter of a word?
Thanks for your help,
Mark

What's wrong with matches($text, '^\p{Lu}+$') matches uppercase, matches($text, '^\p{Ll}+$') matches lowercase, matches($text, '^\p{lu}\p{ll}+$') matches capital case. In the latter case you might also be able to use matches($text, '^\p{Lt}+$').

I was able to find functions that change case [upper-case(), lower-
case()],
but nothing that tested case. Is it possible to determine if the first
letter of a word is upper or lower case? For instance, differentiate
between
@word="Android" and @word="with" by the case of the words' first letter
alone?

Thanks,
Mark
