Get a specific text from a string

mrame · April 7th, 2009, 06:34 AM

With the input "/mvfs/fos-6000/osidcc/src/lapd/Dmain.c", i need the output "/mvfs/fos-6000/osidcc/src/lapd/". Can anyone help on this?

XPath 2.0:

Code:

replace('/mvfs/fos-6000/osidcc/src/lapd/Dmain.c', '[^/]+$', '')

This removes any characters from the end of the string that are different from the slash.

Probably not the answer you wanted, but:

<xsl:template match="*[.='/mvfs/fos-6000/osidcc/src/lapd/Dmain.c']">
<xsl:copy>/mvfs/fos-6000/osidcc/src/lapd/</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

For a more useful answer you will need to tell us more about the possible range of inputs, the output that you want in relation to different inputs, and the place in which these inputs occur.

Thank you both. Your answer worked.
