Result: 84, 104, 233, 114, 232, 115, 101
|
| codepoint-equal(comp1,comp2) |
Returns true if the value of comp1 is equal to the value of comp2, according to the Unicode code point collation (http://www.w3.org/2005/02/xpath-functions/collation/codepoint), otherwise it returns false |
compare(comp1,comp2)
compare(comp1,comp2,collation) |
Returns -1 if comp1 is less than comp2, 0 if comp1 is equal to comp2, or 1 if comp1 is greater than comp2 (according to the rules of the collation that is used)
Example: compare('ghi', 'ghi')
Result: 0
|
| concat(string,string,...) |
Returns the concatenation of the strings
Example: concat('XPath ','is ','FUN!')
Result: 'XPath is FUN!'

Result: ' We are having fun! '
Example: string-join(('We', 'are', 'having', 'fun!'))
Result: 'Wearehavingfun!'
Example:string-join((), 'sep')
Result: ''
|
substring(string,start,len)
substring(string,start) |

Result: 'Beat'
Example: substring('Beatles',2)
Result: 'eatles'
|
string-length(string)
string-length() |
Returns the length of the specified string. If there is no string argument it returns the length of the string value of the current node

Result: 7
|
normalize-space(string)
normalize-space() |
Removes leading and trailing spaces from the specified string, and replaces all internal sequences of white space with one and returns the result. If there is no string argument it does the same on the current node
Example: normalize-space(' The XML ')
Result: 'The XML'
|
| normalize-unicode() |
|
| upper-case(string) |
Converts the string argument to upper-case
Example: upper-case('The XML')
Result: 'THE XML'
|
| lower-case(string) |
Converts the string argument to lower-case
Example: lower-case('The XML')
Result: 'the xml'
|
| translate(string1,string2,string3) |
Converts string1 by replacing the characters in string2 with the characters in string3
Example: translate('12:30','30','45')
Result: '12:45'
Example: translate('12:30','03','54')
Result: '12:45'
Example: translate('12:30','0123','abcd')
Result: 'bc:da'
|
| escape-uri(stringURI,esc-res) |
Example: escape-uri("http://example.com/test#car", true())
Result: "http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Ftest#car"
Example: escape-uri("http://example.com/test#car", false())
Result: "http://example.com/test#car"
Example: escape-uri ("http://example.com/~bébé", false())
Result: "http://example.com/~b%C3%A9b%C3%A9"
|
| contains(string1,string2) |
Returns true if string1 contains string2, otherwise it returns false
Example: contains('XML','XM')
Result: true
|
| starts-with(string1,string2) |
Returns true if string1 starts with string2, otherwise it returns false
Example: starts-with('XML','X')
Result: true
|
| ends-with(string1,string2) |
Returns true if string1 ends with string2, otherwise it returns false
Example: ends-with('XML','X')
Result: false
|
| substring-before(string1,string2) |
Returns the start of string1 before string2 occurs in it
Example: substring-before('12/10','/')
Result: '12'
|
| substring-after(string1,string2) |
Returns the remainder of string1 after string2 occurs in it
Example: substring-after('12/10','/')
Result: '10'
|
| matches(string,pattern) |
Returns true if the string argument matches the pattern, otherwise, it returns false
Example: matches("Merano", "ran")
Result: true
|
| replace(string,pattern,replace) |
Returns a string that is created by replacing the given pattern with the replace argument
Example: replace("Bella Italia", "l", "*")
Result: 'Be**a Ita*ia'
Example: replace("Bella Italia", "l", "")
Result: 'Bea Itaia' |
| tokenize(string,pattern) |
Example: tokenize("XPath is fun", "\s+")
Result: ("XPath", "is", "fun") |
|

This function is case-sensitive.
