I wanted to format the string in XSLT-
Input 'ABC01312()wer**(0)**e66'
Expected output - '0131266
I am using below code but here unable to remove**(0)**
translate($String, translate($String, '0123456789', ''), '')
Replace is not working, tried with replace($TelephoneNumber,'(0)','')
Please help to remove (0)
Thanks
How about:
<xsl:value-of select="replace(input, '\(0\)|[\D]', '')" />

I want to substring the first letter of the first name and the whole second name from email address in XSLT. Not sure if I have to substring then use concat function or how to do it as I don't know the standard length of the email characters.
Input: eman.ahmed#yahoo.com
Desired output: eahmed
<xsl:value-of select="ws:Additional_Information/ws:User_Name_Of_Employee/text()"/>
Should it be something like:
<xsl:value-of select="substring(ws:Additional_Information/ws:User_Name_Of_Manager/text(),1,1,.....)"/>
Thanks for your support!
Well, one way you could look at it is:
<xsl:value-of select="substring(input, 1, 1)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="substring-after(input, '.')"/>
In XSLT 2.0 you can do it with regex:
<xsl:value-of select="replace(input, '^(.).*?\.(.*?)$', '$1$2')"/>
I am having a phone number in my xml in this format like (515) 123456 and I need to have it like simple like 515123456. I used below code and it's throwing me an error
any idea how this can be done ?
<xsl:value-of
select="replace(replace(Mobile1, ') ', ''), '(', '')"
/>
The second argument of the replace() function is a regex pattern. Parentheses are special characters in regex, and must be escaped when used literally:
<xsl:value-of select="replace(replace(Mobile1, '\) ', ''), '\(', '')"/>
Or use simply:
<xsl:value-of select="translate(Mobile1, '() ', '' )"/>
I wrote a code to eradicate all the special characters with a function.
<xsl:function name="lancet:stripSpecialChars">
<xsl:param name="string" />
<xsl:variable name="AllowedSymbols"
select="'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789'"/>
<xsl:value-of select="
translate(
$string,
translate($string, $AllowedSymbols, ' '),
' ')
"/>
</xsl:function>
<xsd:element xtt:fixedLength="14" xtt:required="true" xtt:severity="error" xtt:align="left">
<xsl:value-of select="lancet:stripSpecialChars(upper-case(replace(normalize-unicode(translate($emp/wd:First_Name, ',', ' '), 'NFKD'), '⁄', '/')))"/>
</xsd:element>
Now there is a requirement for me to include apostrophe ('). When I am trying to include the same in AllowedSymbols, I am getting an error.
The output Right now is D AGOSTINO. I need something like D'AGOSTINO.
Not sure how to handle this. Could someone please help me out with this. Thanks
You don't say what the error is, but you probably just need to escape the apostrophe in your variable.
This is done by doubling up the apostrophe:
<xsl:variable name="AllowedSymbols" select="'''ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789'"/>
Since you're using XSLT 2.0, you should be able to use replace() instead of translate()...
<xsl:function name="lancet:stripSpecialChars">
<xsl:param name="string"/>
<xsl:value-of select="replace($string,'[^A-Z0-9'']','')"/>
</xsl:function>
I'm not replacing lowercase letters since the string you're passing is already forced to uppercase, but if you use the function elsewhere you can add a-z to the character class.
Encode it as ' (’ also)
Enclose the value in a CDATA section (recommended as you get rid of encoding problems.
<data><![CDATA[some stuff including D'Agostino & other reserved/problematic characters :-) ]]></data>
In the below code snippet, I am trying to get the substring of my #imageMeta node, append some more path location and pass it as a parameter to my java method through XSLT.
<xsl:variable name="imagePathFrom" select="/config/assets/images/{substring-after(#imageMeta,'/')}" />
<xsl:variable name="imagePathTo" select="'/dev/svn_root/platform/system'" />
<xsl:value-of select="filecopy:copyFile($imagePathFrom, $imagePathTo)"/>
My #imageMeta node data looks like Images/common/dialog/dialogue_black.png.
I have to convert the above path to images/common/dialog/dialogue_black.png (note the change of capital 'I' to small 'i') and append some more path data.
So my final path entry should look like "/config/assets/images/common/dialog/dialogue_black.png". When i run my code snippet i get an error stating:
line 51: Error parsing XPath expression '/config/assets/images/{substring-after(#imageMeta,'/')}'.'
Please help.
<xsl:variable name="imagePathFrom" select="/config/assets/images/{substring-after(#imageMeta,'/')}" />
There are two problems here:
A syntax error -- a select is probably the only attribute attribute in XSLT that cannot contain an AVT.
Even without the AVT, this would attempt to select all /config/assets/images nodes, but the intent is that the variable must contain the string "/config/assets/images"
Solution to both problems:
<xsl:variable name="imagePathFrom" select=
"concat('/config/assets/images/', substring-after(#imageMeta,'/')" />
Alternative solution:
<xsl:variable name="imagePathFrom" select=
"concat('/config/assets/',
translate(substring(#imageMeta, 1, 1),
$vUpper,
$vLower
),
substring(#imageMeta, 2)
)" />
where $vLower and $vUpper are defined, respectively, as:
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
and
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
There is one problem in your code:
<xsl:variable name="imagePathFrom" select="/config/assets/images/{substring-after(#imageMeta,'/')}" />
It suppose to be ..
<xsl:variable name="imagePathFrom" select="substring-after(/config/assets/images/#imageMeta,'/')" />

You also mentioned you wanted to lower-case the capital i. Two options here:
Using XSLT 1.0, this StackOverflow answer explains how to lower-case the first character of a string. It won't work for Unicode characters such as 'Í' but you probably don't need it.
XSLT 2.0 has a lower-case function, which will lower-case your entire string, and may not be what you're looking for.
Given the following XML:
<table>
<col width="12pt"/>
<col width="24pt"/>
<col width="12pt"/>
<col width="48pt"/>
</table>
How can I convert the width attributes to numeric values that can be used in mathematical expressions? So far, I have used substring-before to do this. Here is an example template (XSLT 2.0 only) that shows how to sum the values:
<xsl:template match="table">
<xsl:text>Col sum: </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="sum(
for $w
in col/#width
return number(substring-before($w, 'pt'))
)"/>
</xsl:template>
Now my questions:
Is there a more efficient way to do the conversion than substring-before?
What if I don't know the text after the numbers? Any way to do it without using regular expressions?
This is horrible, but depending on just how much you know about the potetntial set of non-numeric characters, you could strip them with translate():
translate("12jfksjkdfjskdfj", "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", "")
returns
"12"
which you can then pass to number() as currently.
(I said it was horrible. Note that translate() is case sensitive, too)
I found this answer from Dimitre Novatchev that provides a very clever XPATH solution that doesn't use regex:
translate(., translate(.,'0123456789', ''), '')
It uses the nested translate to strip all the numbers from the string, which yields all other characters, which are used as the values for the wrapping translate function to strip out and return just the number characters.
Applied to your template:
<xsl:template match="table">
<xsl:text>Col sum: </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="sum(
for $w
in col/#width
return number(translate($w, translate($w,'0123456789', ''), ''))
)"/>
</xsl:template>
If you are using XSLT 2.0 is there a reason why you want to avoid using regex?
The most simple solution would probably be to use the replace function with a regex pattern to match on any non-numeric character and replace with empty string.:
replace($w,'[^0-9]','')
