RE: [xsl] comparing sequences that contain more than one of the same item

To match 'hello' with 'farmer' the code will be matches('ehllo', 'a?e?f?m?r?r?' ) Ie 'hello' has been sorted into codepoint order before the match. One example which shows the match would be : 'frame' matches ( 'aefmr', 'a?e?f?m?r?r?' ) Helpfully, Hopefully, Richard. > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Welch [mailto:andrew.j.welch@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 22 February 2008 15:24 > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: [xsl] comparing sequences that contain more than > one of the same item > > On 22/02/2008, Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > Sort the characters in the long string into code point order > > > > farmer => aefmrr > > > > Turn this into a regular expression in which each > character is optional > > > > a?e?f?m?r?r? > > > > Sort the characters in the short string into code point > order, and test > > whether the result matches this regular expression. > > I can't see what you're getting at, but I can't convert it into a > working example: > > matches('hello', 'a?e?f?m?r?r?')" > > returns true, which suggests the regex needs work... but I don't know > regex's well enough to correct it. > > > -- > Andrew Welch > http://andrewjwelch.com > Kernow: http://kernowforsaxon.sf.net/
