XSLT: Regular Expression function does not work?
- by Fedor Steeman
Ok, this one has been driving me up the wall...
I have a xslt function that is supposed to split out the Zip-code part from a Zip+City string depending on the country. I cannot get it to work! This is what I got so far:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:exslt="http://exslt.org/functions" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsl:function name="exslt:GetZip" as="xs:string">
<xsl:param name="zipandcity" as="xs:string"/>
<xsl:param name="countrycode" as="xs:string"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$countrycode='DK'">
<xsl:analyze-string select="$zipandcity" regex="(\d{4}) ([A-Za-zÆØÅæøå]{3,24})">
<xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:value-of select="regex-group(1)"/>
</xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:non-matching-substring>
<xsl:text>fail</xsl:text>
</xsl:non-matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text>error</xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:function>
I am running it on a source XML where the following values are passed to the function:
zipandcity: "DK-2640 København SV"
countrycode: "DK"
...will output 'fail'!
I think there is something I am misunderstanding here...
