Re: [xsl] How to create variable element from a couple of strings

[Dimitre Novatchev <dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Yang,

While you cannot do this with a xsl:variable -- you could create a xsl:variable (but
with another prefix) in a stylesheet that will be the output of your transformation.

Another possibility for you is to create an RTF (put the output of the templates
you're calling into the contents of an xsl:variable) -- something like this:

<xsl:variable name="myVar">
  <xsl:call-template name="yourTemplate">
    <!-- Whatever xsl:with-param-s here-->
  </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>

And, of course, in yourTemplate you should be using xsl:element (not xsl:variable)
to dynamically construct the desired nodes.

Then you'd use the nodes that were dynamically constructed for example like this:

<xsl:copy-of select="msxsl(or whatever):node-set($myVar)"/>


Cheers,
Dimitre Novatchev.

Hi, all

I want to set up a set of variable elements  from  two given strings,
(**string** - for variable value  and   **vname** - for variable name )

   <variable name="x1" select="a"/>
   <variable name="x2" select="b"/>
   ...

I am using recursive method to extract each pair value successfully.
However when I add variable statement I get the error of
                Required attribute 'name' is missing'

from mxxml 3 parser.

**xslt listing **

<?xml-stylesheet href="decompose.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";;>
<xsl:param name="string" select="'a,b,c,d,e,f,'"/>
<xsl:param name="vname"  select="'x1,x2,x3,x4,x5,x6,'"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:call-template name="decompose">
<xsl:with-param name="s" select="$string"/>
<xsl:with-param name="nx" select="$vname"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="decompose">
<xsl:param name="s" />
<xsl:param name="nx" />
<xsl:if test="string($s)" >
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($nx,',')"/>
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($s,',')"/>

<!-- following variable element causes error messages -->
<xsl:variable>
<xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of
select="substring-before($nx,',')"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($s,',')"/>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:call-template name="decompose">
<xsl:with-param name="s" select="substring-after($s,',')"/>
<xsl:with-param name="nx" select="substring-after($nx,',')"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Thanks in advance for any help.
