I think you need a second pass to calculate the offsets.

Hi there,
I'm doing some automated markup using <xsl:analyze-string>, and as part
of the output I'd like to record the offset and length of each matched
substring. So given input like this in a text node (simplified example):
This is a test.
and a match like this:
<xsl:analyze-string select="$input" regex="{'[a-zA-Z]+'}">
<xsl:matching-substring>
<w offset="???" length="{string-length(.)}">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</w>
<xsl>matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
I'm wondering if there's any way I can calculate the offset value (which
for "This" would be 1, for "is" would be 6, etc.).
Does anyone know if there's a way to do this?
All help appreciated,
Martin
