[jxpath] sending regular expression as parameter in custom extension

Hi.

 

Is it possible to send regular expressions in custom extension function
calls with JXPath ?  Can anyone point to any examples ?

 

I am currently getting :

 

org.apache.commons.jxpath.JXPathInvalidSyntaxException: Invalid XPath:
'regex:apply(some/path, xxx, $2)'. Invalid symbol '\\' after:
'regex:apply(some/path, (.*'

 

where xxx is an arbitrary regular expression.

 

I am probably going about this completely wrong.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Ross.
