More % sign tokenisation

[Greg McCreath]

Title: Message

Hi all,

 

My input document contains lines that have multiple 'tokens' that need replacing with xml nodes.  Tokens are identified by a percent sign.  An example of a input line with tokens looks like the following:

 

"Welcome %name1 %name2.  You have received a bonus of %bonus points.  Your points expire on %expire365"

 

It would be converted to :

 

<line>Welcome <field key="name1"/> <field key="name2"/>.  You have received a bonus of <field key="bonus"/> points.  Your points expire on <field key="expiry" param="365"/></line>

 

Not being an XSL guru, I can't seem to find any way of successively performing multiple operation on a string in this fashion.  That is, replacing all tokens of like, say, %name1, and then doing %name2 and so on.

 

With no 'variables' this seems a little awkward.  Can anyone provide an example or some hints on how I might replace a number of different tokens in a string?

 

Many thanks.

 

Greg.
