Hi all,

I have the following text and i want to just extract the word Business using either regular expression, matches, analyze string or something like that

[[TD nowrap align="left" valign="bottom"]]
[[A HREF='#101']]Business[[/A]]
[[/TD]]

Any ideas?

Regards.

where $item = the string of text above

<xsl:analyze-string select="$item" regex="\][A-Za-z]*\[">
<xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:value-of select="substring-after(substring-before(.,'['),']')"></xsl:value-of>
</xsl:matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>


IS there a better way?

Regards,

John

What about matching on a series of words?

What about a regex for this:

Market for Registrant’s Common Equity,
Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity

With the ' and , not having to be there all the time

All the ones i've tried make my stylesheet go into an endless loop

You need to be clearer about the requirement. What parts of your input are fixed and what parts are variable? How much flexibility does the code have to cope with?
