I can't find the exact answer for this question so I hope someone will help me here.
I have a string and I want get the substring after the last '.'. I'm using xslt 1.0.
How is this done? This is my code.
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:attribute name="class">method txt-align-left case-names</xsl:attribute> 
<xsl:value-of select="./@name"/> // this prints a string eg: 'something1.something2.something3'
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
When i paste the suggested code I get an error message. "Parsing an XSLT stylesheet failed."
I can't think of a way to do this with a single expression in XSLT 1.0, but you can do it with a recursive template:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<n>
<xsl:call-template name="GetLastSegment">
<xsl:with-param name="value" select="'something1.something2.something3'" />
<xsl:with-param name="separator" select="'.'" />
</xsl:call-template>
</n>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="GetLastSegment">
<xsl:param name="value" />
<xsl:param name="separator" select="'.'" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($value, $separator)">
<xsl:call-template name="GetLastSegment">
<xsl:with-param name="value" select="substring-after($value, $separator)" />
<xsl:with-param name="separator" select="$separator" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$value" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Result:
<n>something3</n>
I did the same behaviour with a xsl:function - usage is then a little bit simpler:
<xsl:function name="ns:substring-after-last" as="xs:string" xmlns:ns="yourNamespace">
<xsl:param name="value" as="xs:string?"/>
<xsl:param name="separator" as="xs:string"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($value, $separator)">
<xsl:value-of select="ns:substring-after-last(substring-after($value, $separator), $separator)" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$value" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:function>
And you can call it directly in a value-of:
<xsl:value-of select="ns:substring-after-last(.,'=')" xmlns:ns="yourNamespace"/>
Here is a solution using EXSLT str:tokenize:
<xsl:if test="substring($string, string-length($string)) != '.'"><xsl:value-of select="str:tokenize($string, '.')[last()]" /></xsl:if>
(the if
is here because if your string ends with the separator, tokenize won't return an empty string)
I resolved it
<xsl:call-template name="GetLastSegment">
<xsl:with-param name="value" select="./@name" />
</xsl:call-template>
Did not need the
<xsl:with-param name="separator" value="'.'" />
in the template call
