Re: [xsl] Concat Content of Node to Another?

["Donald M Rinderknecht" <Donald.M.Rinderknecht@xxxxxxxx>]

It Works!

Thanks for you help, Jon and Michael. I really appreciate it. Plenty 
more to study, that's for sure.

I found I had something complicating things. I was trying to rename 
(make a new) element that contains the directory name. (That's the 
"BasePath" node below.) After I used the existing name, I had more success.

Thanks,

Don

Here's the solution:
=========== The XSLT ====================
<!-- Set the value of the images directory name variable. -->
<xsl:variable name="dirname">
       <xsl:value-of 
select="concat(translate(normalize-space(/Presentation/BuiltinProperties/BasePath),' 
','_'),'/images/')"/>
</xsl:variable>

<!-- Rename the Filename element -->
<!-- I did this to avoid conflict with the other 'Filename' node below.
      I want to distinguish between them for reasons later in the 
process. -->
<xsl:template match="Presentation/Filename">
   <xsl:element name="Source">
<!-- I did this to see if I could. I could! -->
<xsl:attribute name="file">
   <xsl:value-of select="$dirname"/>
</xsl:attribute>
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
   </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

<!-- Concat path onto filename of image, and change from swf to tif. -->
   <xsl:template match="Filename">
           <xsl:element name="Filename">
               <xsl:value-of select="$dirname" /><xsl:value-of 
select="replace(.,'.swf','.tif')"/>
           </xsl:element>
   </xsl:template>   

<!-- I have a couple of other things here... like changing the order of 
the nodes in Slide -->

============= The Before XML ===============

The original BasePath Node:
<BasePath>IC 3 - Lesson 1 Expertise</BasePath>

And the (partial) Slide Node:

- <Slide id="1">
       <Filename>slide1.swf</Filename>
       <BackgroundFile>bgtm1.swf</BackgroundFile>
   <Title>Expertise and Effective Office Warning Strategies</Title>
</Slide>


=========================================

============= After the Transform ==============


- <Slide id="1">
   <BackgroundFile>bgtm1.swf</BackgroundFile>
   <Title>Expertise and Effective Office Warning Strategies</Title>
   <Filename>IC_3_-_Lesson_1_Expertise/images/slide1.tif</Filename>
</Slide>
