Here's one solution: This transformation: testMultiSearch.xsl: ------------------- <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:pat="my:patterns" exclude-result-prefixes="pat" > <pat:patterns> <pattern>ala</pattern> <pattern>lani</pattern> </pat:patterns> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:call-template name="findAndHighLightStrings"> <xsl:with-param name="pstrTarget" select="/*"/> <xsl:with-param name="pPatterns" select="document('')/*/pat:patterns"/> <xsl:with-param name="pElemName" select="'b'"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="findAndHighLightStrings"> <xsl:param name="pstrTarget"/> <xsl:param name="pPatterns" select="/.."/> <xsl:param name="pElemName"/> <xsl:if test="string-length($pstrTarget) > 0"> <xsl:variable name="vFound"> <xsl:for-each select="$pPatterns/*"> <xsl:if test="starts-with($pstrTarget, .)"> <xsl:value-of select="concat(., '|')"/> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="vPatFound" select="substring-before($vFound, '|')"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="string($vFound)"> <xsl:element name="{$pElemName}"> <xsl:value-of select="$vPatFound"/> </xsl:element> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="substring($pstrTarget,1,1)"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> <xsl:variable name="vOffset" select="(string-length($vPatFound) + 1) * (string-length($vPatFound) > 0) + 2 * (string-length($vPatFound) = 0)"/> <xsl:call-template name="findAndHighLightStrings"> <xsl:with-param name="pstrTarget" select="substring($pstrTarget, $vOffset)"/> <xsl:with-param name="pPatterns" select="$pPatterns"/> <xsl:with-param name="pElemName" select="$pElemName"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:if> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> When applied on this source.xml: <t>alabalanilanica</t> produces the wanted result: <b>ala</b>b<b>ala</b>ni<b>lani</b>ca ===== Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/ -- the home of FXSL Dimitre Novatchev wrote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a variation of the "replace all occurences of a string" problem, which is well documented in Dave Pawson's FAQ. The new element is that instead of searching for a single string, one must search for the (next) occurence of any one from a list of strings. This necessitates stepping through the string one character at a time and checking if the remaining text that starts at the current character position does not start with one of the given strings, and if yes, doing the replace operation. Some time ago I was asked to help a colleague with exactly this problem and the solution produced did not use FXSL. Using FXSL here is convenient, because one can use its generic string processing templates (e.g. str-foldl or str-map) that process a string one character at a time. This will be very similar to the processing done to split a camelCase name into separate words: http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/plaintext.html#d6160e507 An added complexity is what to do when one of the search strings is the start of another -- this must be specified by the person, who requests the solution. One way is to use the search strings in priority of their order. Another is to search for the longest string first. There are also some optimization techniques to minimize the depth of the recursion and to achieve faster processing: "Two-stage recursive algorithms in XSLT" http://www.topxml.com/xsl/articles/recurse/ As I'm rather busy right at this moment, I have to search and find the solution (this was a month ago) and I'll post it in the next 24 hours. ===== Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/ -- the home of FXSL __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
