Manipulating strings

dzisaacs · December 24th, 2005, 04:06 PM

ok let's say i have an xml file like this

Code:

<index>
<p>Introduction 109 Author Message 200 About 334</p>
</index>

I need to write an xslt that can make that paragraph looking like this

Introduction 109
Author Message 200
About 334

I'm not sure how can i do this...My guess is that I need to look for a number and when i find the number put an end line and keep doing this till i get to the end..

i think this is the idea but i don't know how to implement it on xslt

hi

try this one

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

    <xsl:template match="/">
                        <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="indexes">
                <xsl:for-each select="index/p">

                                <xsl:analyze-string select="." regex="([A-z ]+)([0-9]+)">
                                        <xsl:matching-substring>

                                                            <xsl:value-of select="regex-group(1)"/><xsl:value-of select="regex-group(2)"/><br/>
                                        </xsl:matching-substring>
                                </xsl:analyze-string>
                </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
