Subject: RegExp as an extension function? From: "Imran Rashid" <imranr@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 07 Aug 2000 11:09:04 -0500 |
I was thinking, it would be really great if there was a RegExp extension function in an XSLT processor. from my experience, XSLT is normally criticized for three things: 1) the rtf vs. node-set thing. 2) output to multiple files. 3) powerful string handling functions, eg. regular expressions. most XSLT processors already implement extension functions to handle 1 & 2. I think most people on this list agree that having played around w/ those extension functions extensively, they are likely candidates for XSLT 2 (or 1.1, whatever). I think it would be nice to similarly play around w/ regular expressions similarly, to see if they have a place in XSLT 2. I really, really don't mean to sound ungrateful for all the great work folks have put into their XSLT processors. just an idea. thanks, Imran Rashid XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
