I'm writing a Transformer for Cocoon... as input i have the DOM = representation of a document. Let's say a part of this document is .... I went Home ... Stored in a variable i have the id of a node, in this case "sometext". = Furthermore I have a variable called pointer, which looks like = "string-range(.,"Home")[1] ..something like this. It should be a proper = XPointer expression, I can change that to whatever I want though. Now the goal of the Transformer is to write an anchor around the string = pointed to - "Home" in this case - which occurs in the node defined. I = can make the span the context node and Java allows me to insert nodes = before and after this one.. but how can i write an anchor around the = specified string within this node? Of course I could get the string, iterate through it and search for the = word etc, but that would be a pain, esp. since there could be 18 = instances and I would want the 17th etc. Actually I'd like to use XPointer, so that some function returns the = specified string-range in the node, and I can surround it with an = tag... that's what I thought ;) So, is there an XPointer implementation that allows me that .. or how = would you solve that problem?

i already asked a similar question in = the=20 cocoon-users mailing list, so please excuse this, but since i got no = answers and=20 it wasn't really a cocoon specific question i'm gonna place it here once = more...changed a bit.

I'm writing a Transformer for Cocoon... = as input i=20 have the DOM representation of a document. Let's say a part of this = document=20 is

<span = id=3D"sometext">

Stored in a variable i have the id of a = node, in=20 this case "sometext". Furthermore I have a variable called pointer, = which looks=20 like "string-range(.,"Home")[1] = ..something=20 like this. It should be a proper XPointer expression, I can change that = to=20 whatever I want though.

Now the goal of the Transformer is to = write an=20 anchor around the string pointed to - "Home" in this case - which occurs = in the=20 node defined. I can make the span the context node and Java = allows me=20 to insert nodes before and after this one.. but how can i write an = anchor around=20 the specified string within this node?

Of course I could get the string, = iterate through=20 it and search for the word etc, but that would be a pain, esp. since = there could=20 be 18 instances and I would want the 17th etc.

Actually I'd like to use XPointer, so = that some=20 function returns the specified string-range in the node, and I can = surround it=20 with an <a> tag... that's what I thought ;)

So, is there an XPointer implementation = that allows=20 me that .. or how would you solve that problem?
