Re: [EP-tech] Building citations based on condition with Regular Expression

Hi Stefan,
You're right - it doesn't.

I don't think there is a simple way to achieve what you are trying to do with the EPScript methods available:
https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.eprints.org%2Fw%2FEPScript&data=01%7C01%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7C00410c57aef148c56c9508d7473f588b%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0&sdata=6WmaXySYkbA79f%2B9HbXwZUjyXB8z0EQvMVjE1gYotUw%3D&reserved=0

If you look in EPrints::Script::Compiler::tokenise you'll see the different characters that EPScript expects - it doesn't include RegExps.

You could inject a method to EPrints::Script::Compiled that returns a boolean for use in a test, or even rendered xhtml.
I used this approach here:

Let me know if that helps - or if you want some more explanation.
You *could* inject a method that took a RegExp as a parameter - you would need to be careful about compiling the regex from this string if you do!

Cheers,
John

Subject: [EP-tech] Building citations based on condition with Regular Expression

Hello,

I want to use a regular expression to assemble a part in a citation. This script (see below) throws me an error - I assume the EprintsScript does not know RegExp.
<when test="type.one_of('conference_item','editor_conference_proceeding')">
    In: Proceedings of the
    <choose>
               <when test="event_title =~ \International\">
                               <if test="event_title"><print expr="event_title"/></if>
               </when>
               <otherwise>
                               <if test="event_type"><print expr="event_type"/></if> on <if test="event_title"><print expr="event_title"/></if>
               </otherwise>
    </choose>
  </when>


What is the easiest way to fix this problem?

Best regards
Stefan
