Altova : Altova Mailing List Archives

Hi, I am trying to use XPath to extract substring of a text node. The substring should be at least 300 characters long. If the 300th character is in the middle of a sentence, the substring should include the complete sentence which the 300th character resides. I use XPath function substring($outputContent,1,$displayLength). What function or XPath syntax will allow me to find the period of the ending sentence so that I can dynamically adjust the $displayLength variable? Thanks. *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com *** Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
