Method Detail

allowRegexMatchingEmptyString

protected boolean allowRegexMatchingEmptyString()

Specified by:

allowRegexMatchingEmptyString in class RegexFunction

makeFunctionCall

public Expression makeFunctionCall(Expression... arguments)

Make an expression that either calls this function, or that is equivalent to a call on this function

Overrides:

makeFunctionCall in class RegexFunction

Parameters:

arguments - the supplied arguments to the function call

Returns:

either a function call on this function, or an expression that delivers the same result

call

public StringValue call(XPathContext context,
                        Sequence[] arguments)
                 throws XPathException

Evaluate the expression

Parameters:

context - the dynamic evaluation context

arguments - the values of the arguments, supplied as SequenceIterators

Returns:

the result of the evaluation, in the form of a SequenceIterator

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the expression

checkReplacement

public static java.lang.String checkReplacement(java.lang.CharSequence rep)

Check the contents of the replacement string

Parameters:

rep - the replacement string

Returns:

null if the string is OK, or an error message if not
