Subject: [xsl] attribute closest match From: "Matthew L. Avizinis" <mla@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 7 Aug 2002 12:50:33 -0400 |
Hello all, I am comparing a series of attribute (called 'id') values in one xml file with same in a second xml file. If there is an id value in the the second file which matches, I grab the value of the element and use it. If there is no match, I use the Xalan redirect extension element to emit a log file entry essentially stating that there wasn't a match for that id but can't provide much more information. It could be that there is a _nearly_ matching id, e.g. maybe two characters are accidentally transposed. I believe that use of computers should make our lives easier. So what I'd like to know is if anyone knows of any XSLT templates which can essentially find a _closest match_ which I could then emit to the log file or do I have to resort to writing an extension function? thank you for any suggestions, Matthew L.
