Hi Experts,
I am trying to transform a xml (custom schema) to MSExcel using SpreadsheetML 2003 specification. I am using Apache's Xalan-C++ (1.10) and Apache's Xerces-C++
parser (2.70) for the transformation.
When I convert the xsl variable holding a RTF to a nodeset, it seems to fail. I try to get the count but always end up with a zero. However if I print the xsl variable itself using a<xsl:copy-of>, I can see all the rows in the output file.
Can anyone see the issue with my xsl code?
Here's my stylesheet (with relevant comments)
Stylesheet =========
<!-- the dataRows variable contains all books for the author each book indicated by a<Row> element -->
<xsl:variable name="dataRows"> <xsl:call-template name="getBooks"> <xsl:with-param name="authorId" select="$authorId" /> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:variable>
...
<!-- now I want to know how many rows were returned as I have to apply some conditional formatting in Excel and I need the range of cells -->
<!-- So I convert this $dataRows to a nodeset and try to get the count of<Row> elements using the following XPath -->
<xsl:variable name="rowCount" select="count(exsl:node-set($dataRows)/Row)" />
<!-- the above @select doesn't work, although I can not see why however, I print the $dataRows itself using xsl:copyof and I can see all<Row> elements in the output file --> ...
<xsl:template name="getBooks"> <xsl:param name="authorId">
<!-- get all books by the author and print a row (excel row) for each --> <Row> <Cell ss:StyleID="s17"> <Data ss:Type="Number> <xsl:value-of select="$totalPages" /> </Data> </Cell> ... <!-- other information about the book --> </Row> </xsl:template>
The choice of XalanC and XercesC is beyond my control, so I am stuck with XSLT 1.0
I also tried the same in MS VS2005 but without any success. When I debug in VS, I can see that $dataRows variable contains the child<Row> elements but the count is still zero.
Thanks for your help Satish
