Subject: [xsl] Positional Grouping problem From: "Munt,Peter \(BOC eServices\)" <Peter.Munt@xxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 29 May 2006 17:30:15 +1000 |
I have read the FAQ and think I have found a partial answer to my problem. Seems to be Positional Grouping solution (10) http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N4486.html but my xslt skills are too weak to understand the solution!. I can't even get the solution to work - been at this for hours now... very bad I know. I have the following XML - a Batch of Invoices a 3 line Invoice and a 2 line Invoice (there are a bunch of other tags and data inside these but for simplicity I've left then out in this example). <invoices> <invoiceHeader> ...</invoiceHeader> <invoiceLine>... </invoiceLine> <invoiceLine>... </invoiceLine> <invoiceLine>... </invoiceLine> <invoiceHeader>... </invoiceHeader> <invoiceLine>... </invoiceLine> <invoiceLine>... </invoiceLine> </invoices> What I need is a <invoice> tag that surrounds the Header and Lines. There is nothing that relates a Header to a Line apart from its position i.e the header will be followed by its lines. <invoices> <invoice> <invoiceHeader> ...</invoiceHeader> <invoiceLine>... </invoiceLine> <invoiceLine>... </invoiceLine> <invoiceLine>... </invoiceLine> </invoice> <invoice> <invoiceHeader>... </invoiceHeader> <invoiceLine>... </invoiceLine> <invoiceLine>... </invoiceLine> <invoice> </invoices> How can I do this ? Something like the partial example snippet given in the FAQ above would give the following - but can somebody fill in the blanks - I am missing the start template statements etc - but I do not know what they are meant to be. <xsl:for-each select=="invoiceHeader"> <invoice> <invoiceHeader><xsl:value-of select="." /> </invoiceHeader> <invoiceLine> <xsl:for-each select=="following-sibling::invoiceLine[ count(preceding-sibling::invoiceHeader[1] | current()) == 1]"> <xsl:value-of select=="invoiceLine" /> </xsl:for-each> </invoiceLine> </invoice> </xsl:for-each> Thanks for any assistance Peter *********************************************************************** The information contained in this email and any attachments may be confidential and is provided solely for the use of the intended recipient(s).
