Hello everyone,
I would sincerely apprec. any help you might offer. What I need to do is
tokenize a node value into chunks, filter the trash and return in the xml,
the new clean string. I'm a newbie with xslt and am having a tough time
deciphering how to accomplish this.
As an examle:
<document>
<description>The quick .. brown fox .. jumped over .. the lazy ..
programmer</description>
</document>
apply xsl and return: <result>The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy
programmer</result>
Any recomendations on how to do this? I have combed the documentation I
have so I could also use advice on better documentation as to the
implementation of XSLT. Specifically, I'm using Xalan.
Thanks!
