Re: [xsl] A function that tokenizes a string, wrapping each token in start-tag , end-tag pairs?

Slightly more optimized -- and the produced nodes are now really siblings:

parse-xml-fragment(

string-join(for-each-pair(tokenize($lines, $delims)[not(position() =
last() and . = '')],
                                                                      $names,

function($x,$y){"<"||$y||">"||$x||"</"||$y||">"}
                                                                     ),
                                                  ''
                                                )
                               )/*

As a single XPath 3.0 expression -- do note that no conditional is used:

for-each-pair(tokenize($lines, $delims)[not(position() = last() and .
= '')], $names, function($x,
$y){parse-xml-fragment("<"||$y||">"||$x||"</"||$y||">")/*})


A full example:
==========
let $lines :=
"1
2
3",
$names := ('a', 'b', 'c'),
$delims := "\r\n|\r|\n"
  return
     for-each-pair(tokenize($lines, $delims)[not(position() = last()
and . = '')], $names, function($x,
$y){parse-xml-fragment("<"||$y||">"||$x||"</"||$y||">")/*})

 When evaluated with Oxygen's XPath Builder, the result is:

Description: 1
XPath location: /a[1]
Start location: 1:3
Description: 2
XPath location: /b[1]
Start location: 1:3
Description: 3
XPath location: /c[1]
Start location: 1:3

Hi Folks,

I want a function that tokenizes a string and wraps each token in a 
start-tag, end-tag pair.

I figure that I should pass into the function the string to be tokenized and 
a sequence of integers corresponding to the decimal value(s) of the token 
delimiter.

Also, I figure that I should pass into the function a sequence of strings, 
corresponding to the tag names to be used for wrapping each token.

I've implemented the function, see below. It works fine, but I want to know 
if it can be improved. Is there a way to write the function more idiomatic? 
Shorter? Generalized to be more widely useful?  /Roger


    <!--
        Create an element for each non-empty token in $line.
        $line is tokenized using the sequence of symbols denoted
        by $line-delimiter.
        For the token at position i, name the element using the
        string in headers[$i]
   -->
