Subject: RE: [xsl] How do you get the non-transformed character entity out of MSXML3.0 From: jdgarrett@xxxxxxxxxx Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2001 12:36:57 -0500 |
Mr Kay Yes I may be confused on that one issue but the issue still remains ...as discussed in previous posts on this subject...that I have not yet been able to load the xml structure into the DOM via Visual Basic and then have it spit back out the character entity in it's pre-parsed value .... e.g. given the following node <Customer number="125487" NumberOfPurchases="<4" >Joe & Bill's Shop</Customer> I need to return to a Visual Basic variable the value of NumberOfPurchases in the form <4 rather in the parsed value form <4 The .text property returns <4 and the .xml property returns NumberOfPurchases="<4" As Chris pointed out in a previous post...there is not a property or method in the MSXML parser that will output only <4 Thanks Jim FYI:The following is from Chris Bayes on Sun 16-Sep-2001 3:35 AM Jim, You can't get it except from the .xml property. So you need something like var b = xml.selectSingleNode("/Customer/@NumberOfPurchases").xml; var z = b.substring(b.indexOf("=\"")+2, b.lastIndexOf("\"")); Or rather the vb equivalent Dim b:b = xml.selectSingleNode("/Customer/@NumberOfPurchases").xml Dim z:z = Mid(b, InStr(1, b, "=""")+2, InStrRev(b, """")-(InStr(1, b, "=""")+2)) Ciao Chris |-----Original Message----- |From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |[mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Michael Kay |Sent: Monday, September 17, 2001 8:22 AM |To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |Subject: RE: [xsl] How do you get the non-transformed character entity |out of MSXML3.0 | | |> until transformation it indeed has the value of < |> otherwise it would not load into the parser |> nor would the parser correctly transform it.... | |No, the attribute is written as "<" in the source file but as soon as it |is parsed (i.e., as soon as it is recognized as an attribute) it has the |value "<". | |Parsers do not do transformation, I think you are confusing the XML parser |with the XSLT processor.
