其实,正则表达式是XPATH2.0定义的,暂且放在XSLT里说吧。
还是举例来说正则表达式的用法吧。
XML源文件任意,XSLT文件:
< ?xml version='1.0'? >
<
xsl:stylesheet version= "2.0" xmlns:xsl= "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
            xmlns:xs=
"http://www.w3.org/XMLSchema" >
<
xsl:template match= "/" >
     < xsl:variable name= "file" select= "'aa.txt'" / >
     < xsl:variable name= "string" select= "unparsed-text($file,ISO-8859-1)" / >
     < xsl:analyze-string select= "$string" regex= "\n" >
         < xsl:non-matching-substring >
             < row >
             < xsl:analyze-string select= "." regex= '("([^"]*)")|([^,]+)' >
                 < xsl:matching-substring >
                     < cell >
                     < xsl:value-of select= "regex-group(2)" / >
                     < xsl:value-of select= "regex-group(3)" / >
                     < /cell >
                 < /xsl:matching-substring >
             < /xsl:analyze-string >
             < /row >
         < /xsl:non-matching-substring >
     < /xsl:analyze-string >
<
/xsl:template >
<
/xsl:stylesheet >
摘自XSLT2.0 porgrammer's reference(稍有改动)。
aa.txt的内容:
123,"Mary Jones","IBM","USA",1997-05-14
423,"Barbara Smith","General Motors","USA",1996-03-12
6721,"Martin McDougall","British Airways","UK",2001-01-15
830,"Jonathan Perkins","Springer Verlag","Germany",2000-11-17
得到输出结果:
< ?xml version='1.0' ? >
<

我们可以看到寻找与regex匹配的字符串的过程是:首先从input的第一个字符开始,看能否找到,如果找到了,那么就截取该匹配字符,然后从后面的字符开始,再次寻找,如果未找到,就将第一个字符确定为不匹配字符,然后从第二个字符开始寻找,一直到查找完所有字符。
原来的XSLT文件正则表达式匹配的模式为:
<xsl:analyze-string select="," regex='("([^"]*?)")|([^,]+?),'>
* 后面跟一个问号(?),代表非贪婪原则。意思是,一旦找到类似"xxxxx"形式的字符串就认定为匹配字符串。但是在这里没有必要,因为中间的xxxx不能为"(双引号),也就防止了出现贪婪的"xxx""xxxx"xxx"的形式。也算是对大师提出的一个疑问吧。呵呵。
