Middle of word

[N9]

Hi

It's possible to substring middle ??

text = "Here are a story about a boy, who like to play baseball"

I split on word "who", with 10 char to left and 10 char til right,
that the result gone be.

text = "out a boy who, like to "

Hope some one could help me.

Thanks

Your example doesn't seem to have anything to do with XSLT, unless test
is an attribute.

You should look up XPath rather than XSLT, and you will
want the string functions:

substring-before, substring-after, substring, string-length

and possibly 'concat' and 'contains'
for example:

substring(subst ring-after("Here is a story about a boy, who likes to
play baseball","who" ),4,11)

evaluates to 'kes to play'

Note that the second parameter is a request for a length od substring,
not the final position.

Assuming the source text is the content of an xml element, you would use
<xsl:value-of>, possibly normalise spaces, and almost certainly wish to
use a variable.

Also not thet the 'substring-before' and 'substring-after' functions
only return the first match,
