Subject: New twist: eliminating nodes with duplicate content, case-insensi tive From: "Richman, Jeremy" <jrichman@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 3 Dec 1999 14:27:30 -0500 |
I want to create a node set of all nodes of a certain type, eliminating duplicates using case-insensitivity, then convert all notes to lower case. If I have this xml: <handle-list> <handle>RED DOG</handle> <handle>Red Dog</handle> <handle>Goldfish</handle> </handle-list> And I'd like to generate just: <handle-list> <handle>goldfish</handle> <handle>red dog</handle> <handle-list> How can I do this? I realize the translate function must be used to change from upper to lower. But the only function I have to eliminate duplicates is case sensitive, e.g. <xsl:variable "unique-handles" select="//handle[not( self::node() = following::handle )]"/> If use then process the nodes in unique-handles, I'll get a nodeset that includes all of the original handle elements, instead of just two. I could possibly create a pretty complicated looping construct of several templates, that for each node in the $unique-handles nodeset, iterates over the following nodes in the set, using translate to look for duplicates. Any ideas? Jeremy Richman XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
