Subject: Re: [xsl] Checking if a variable has a value From: "Bauman, Syd s.bauman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2022 01:36:21 -0000 |
<xsl:if test="$git-hash eq ''"> ... </xsl:if> does the trick, at least for me. I think this is because <xsl:param name="git-hash"/> sets $git-hash to the empty string if a value was not supplied. So the point is that the parameter is defined, but it happens to have nothing as a value. ________________________________ XSLT 2.0, Saxon processor. What's a good way to check if a variable has a value? I want to print something if a variable has a value, and not print it if it is not given a value. This must be extremely simple but I don't see it. Variable is declared: <xsl:param name="git-hash"/> This will sometimes be given a string value like this: 26166cf7f809f5107778c2742e06edb024c5ffef I tried this and others: <xsl:if test="matches($git-hash, '\d|[a-z]')"> <dc:subject>git hash: <xsl:value-of select="$git-hash"/></dc:subject> </xsl:if> When the variable has no value, the following is output instead of nothing: git hash: ${git-hash} The following works but only if the value has numbers in it: <xsl:if test="matches($git-hash, '\d')"> None of these work, what have I missed: <xsl:if test="$git-hash"> <xsl:if test="boolean($git-hash)"> <xsl:if test="matches($git-hash, '\d|\S')"> <xsl:if test="matches($git-hash, '\d|[a-z]')"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="not($git-hash)"></xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <dc:subject>git hash: <xsl:value-of select="$git-hash"/></dc:subject> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> EasyUnsubscribe<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2 F%2Flists.mulberrytech.com%2Funsub%2Fxsl-list%2F649132&data=05%7C01%7Cs.bauma n%40northeastern.edu%7C1f04441596a8433323d008da8aeffd82%7Ca8eec281aaa34daeac9 b9a398b9215e7%7C0%7C0%7C637975060764532619%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC 4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdat a=3Zejwy7MFasj1ezIk3czVJa6R3mL7jccuWsdB2NXXC4%3D&reserved=0> (by email<>)
