Subject: [xsl] Select All Except First and Last From: Nathan Tallman <ntallman@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 2 Dec 2013 16:10:13 -0500 |
This should be an easy one, but I can't figure it out. How do I select all but the first and last matching nodes? XML input: <physdesc> <extent>285.42 linear feet</extent> <extent>227.5 record cartons</extent> <extent>2.5 Hollinger boxes</extent> </physdesc> HTML output: 285.42 linear feet (227.5 record cartons, 2.5 Hollinger boxes) The input will vary, with different people encoding. I'd like to select all but the first and last extent. While this time, that's only one node at extent[2], there may be 8 or more extents. This is all because a I want to format a list and insert commas. (Although the second-to-end values will be wrapped in parenthesis.) I'm using XSLT 2.0 and Saxon EE 9.4; I thought (and hoped) that the below would work, alas it's not. <xsl:for-each select="extent[not(extent[1])]"> <xsl:value-of select="." separator=", "/> </xsl:for-each> Any help is appreciated. Nathan
