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

Yes, make a function called regexp which takes a regexp string and a haystack string and returns a BOOLEAN

I'm writing this without testing but...

sub run_regex
{

    my( $self, $state, $pattern, $haystack ) = @_;

    my $regex = $pattern->[0];
    return [ $haystack->[0] =~ m/$regex/, "BOOLEAN" ];
}


should give you a function where you can in the XML go
               <when test="regex( 'International', event_title )">

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://wiki.eprints.org/w/EPScript<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.eprints.org%2Fw%2FEPScript&data=01%7C01%7C%7C36c98e98823843c40d4d08d74741bc37%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0&sdata=msCezdc%2FURhLB00q6MXSvGLllyfKyXJcr72l2vGE%2BIw%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
