You show the output as having a newline between "Module" and
"Batteries" (which might just be an artifact of e-mail) -- is that
what the input has? If so, your input pattern doesn't match newline,
and will fail. To fix, just use normalize-space($title) as the input
(i.e., value of @select).
But is there any reason not to use a simpler regex? E.g.,
<xsl:analyze-string select="normalize-space($title)" regex="(.+) - (.+)">
Even if it doesn't fix your problem, it might make it easier to find.
I have the following value in the $title variable without the
quotes "foo-119 Mode Module Batteries - Installation"
I have a series of strings like this where I want to separate the
content after the last "space dash space" from everything the
proceeds that point. So I came up with the following:
<xsl:analyze-string select="$title" regex="([A-Za-z0-9 -,./]*) - ([
A-Za-z0-9/]*)">
<xsl:matching-substring>
<techname><xsl:value-of select="regex-group(1)"/></techname>
<infoname><xsl:value-of select="regex-group(2)"/></infoname>
</xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:non-matching-substring>
<xsl:comment>NO MATCH for techname and infoname
"<xsl:value-of select="$title"/>"</xsl:comment>
</xsl:non-matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
I'm getting this output:
<!--NO MATCH for techname and infoname "foo-119 Mode Module
Batteries - Installation"-->
<techname>119 Mode Module Batteries</techname>
<infoname>Installation</infoname>
I was expecting all dashes to be captured except for the last one
or at least the first "space dash space", it looks like the pattern
gets the "foo-" and flags it as mismatched and then captures the
other two strings. Can you help me understand what is going on.
