RE: [xsl] flat XML to normal XML

["Aron Bock" <aronbock@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Today, dunno how to quit:

This is prettier, and the key-logic shorter.  Since it uses keys you can get 
rid of the loops, and use apply-templates as well.  Later today I'll follow 
the link another respondent posted, and may have another epiphany :-)


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

   <xsl:output indent="yes" method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

   <xsl:key match="Table" name="k-transport" use="Level"/>
   <xsl:key match="Table[Level=2]" name="k-brand" 
use="preceding-sibling::Table[Level = 1][1]"/>
   <xsl:key match="Table[Level=3]" name="k-model" 
use="preceding-sibling::Table[Level = 2][1]"/>

   <xsl:template match="/">
       <NewDataSet>
           <xsl:for-each select="key('k-transport', 1)">
               <xsl:variable name="t" select="."/>
               <Transport name="{Description}">
                   <xsl:for-each select="key('k-brand', $t)">
                       <Brand name="{Description}">
                           <xsl:for-each select="key('k-model', .)">
                               <Model name="{Description}">
                               </Model>
                           </xsl:for-each>
                       </Brand>
                   </xsl:for-each>
               </Transport>
           </xsl:for-each>
       </NewDataSet>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
