Remove or replace some text from XPath string

Is it possible to remove or replace text on XPath string?

Using XPath I get url with http://www and I want to remove http://www, so the same XPath query would return me only a link without http://www. I can't find anything about removing or replacing Xpath string.

Is it possible? If so, how to do this?

Solution

  • Have you tried substring-after?

    substring-after('http://www.stackoverflow.com', 'http://www.')

    Example:

    <demo>http://www.stackoverflow.com</demo>

    XPath:

    //demo/substring-after(., 'http://www.')

    Yields:

    stackoverflow.com
