Re: [xsl] Merging multiple documents and combining their nodes

["Mark Peters" <flickrmeister@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi David,

I got a good chuckle out of your "the only thing you need to know ...
and that I can't type" comment. Thanks for the sense of humor, and for
your suggestions.

For some reason, I'm still getting the "Expected ,, but found: ]"
error, after I added the additional brackets.

Here's the current version of the stylesheet. Did I add the brackets
in the correct locations?


<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:exslt="http://exslt.org/common";>
	<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:variable name="temp">
			<components>
				<xsl:copy-of select="document(/files/file)/components/component"/>
			</components>
		</xsl:variable>
		<components>
			<xsl:for-each
select="exslt:node-set($temp)/components/component[generate-id()=generate-id(key('c',@name)]">
				<xsl:sort select="@name"/>
(<xsl:copy>
(<xsl:copy-of select="@*|key('c'@name)/*"/>
				</xsl:copy>)
                      </xsl:for-each>
		</components>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:key name="c" match="component" use="@name"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>

<smacks head>  Of course!  My brain's going soft -- probably from
smacking my head too often.

Thanks,
Mark
