Deleteing all characters in a string until certain character....

Question posted by: tytyguy (Newbie) on June 28th, 2008 05:11 AM

Ok so I have an xml file that list image urls like this....

Code: ( text )

<imageurl>http://www.tirerack.com/images/tires/kumho/ku_victoracer_s.jpg</imageurl>

I would like to be able to use xslt to transform it to this....

Code: ( text )

<imageurl>ku_victoracer_s.jpg</imageurl>

I tried using a substring, but it just removes it from the first slash, and since the url has a couple slashes in i, that doesnt work. How can I do this?

Should be something like this recursive template.

Code: ( text )

<xsl:template match="imageurl">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:call-template name="removeUntilLast">
<xsl:with-param name="str" select="."/>
<xsl:with-param name="searchStr" select="'/'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="removeUntilLast">
<xsl:param name="str"/>
<xsl:param name="searchStr" select="'/'"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($str, $searchStr))">
<xsl:call-template name="removeUntilLast">
<xsl:with-param name="str" select="substring-after($str, $searchStr)"/>
<xsl:with-param name="searchStr" select="$searchStr"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select="$str"/></xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
