[xsl] Support for lookaround regexp in XSLT -- any time soon?

2013-02-27 18:21:46
Hi there,

I've been using XSLT/XPath for some time to find patterns in
(XML-based) XLIFF files, but now I'm going to need more complex
regexps (e.g. positive/negative lookaround/lookbehind/lookahead, aka
zero-width assertions, or non-capturing groups) and I see that they
are not supported.

My question is whether there are plans to support these advanced
features in the future. Does anyone know?

I know .NET or Perl regular expressions support that, but I would
rather stick to XSLT if I can. It makes my life much simpler.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Manuel Souto Pico
