How to find a word within text using XSLT 2.0 and REGEX (which doesn't have \b word boundary)?
- by Mads Hansen
I am attempting to scan a string of words and look for the presence of a particular word(case insensitive) in an XSLT 2.0 stylesheet using REGEX.
I have a list of words that I wish to iterate over and determine whether or not they exist within a given string.
I want to match on a word anywhere within the given text, but I do not want to match within a word (i.e. A search for foo should not match on "food" and a search for bar should not match on "rebar").
XSLT 2.0 REGEX does not have a word boundary(\b), so I need to replicate it as best I can.
