Subject: [xsl] Match values from XML-file A with values from XML-file B From: "Sellmer-Brüls, Barbara" <B.Sellmer-Bruels@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 24 May 2001 18:37:35 +0200 |
Hello, I have written a lot of stylesheets, BUT there is a problem I cannot solve without producing a - as I think - too copious XSL. I've got 2 XML files: file A: contains a structured list of codes that shall be used to collect data from XML file B example file A: <class> <chapter no="1" heading="Chapter 1"> <category goc="*" code="SCA1" /> <category goc="*" code="SCA2"/> <category goc="*" code="SCB1"/> </chapter> <chapter no="2" heading="Chapter 2"> <category goc="*" code="SCC5"/> <category goc="*" code="SCB7" /> </chapter> </class> For each chapter I need to collect all products from file B that have a code matching one of the codes in the current chapter. The result of all products matched by the miscellanious codes for this chapter shall be sortet, eg. by their ID. file B: <export> <product @id="ISBN-1"> ... more elements ... <class> <category code="SCA"> <category code="SCA1" /> <category code="SCA2"/> </category> <category code="SCB"> <category code="SCB9"/> </category> </class> </product> <product @id="ISBN-2"> ... more elements ... <class> <category code="SCA"> <category code="SCA9"/> </category> <category code="SCB"> <category code="SCB7"/> </category> </class> </product> <product @id="ISBN-3"> ... more elements ... <class> <category code="SCB"> <category code="SCB1"/> <category code="SCB7"/> </category> </class> </product> </export> Idea 1: The stylesheet operates on file A (codes) and selects products from file B. Somehow I feel that there must be an elegant solution, but I don't know how to match n codes from the chapter code list to m codes within each product od the export file, AND sort the complete result of each chapter :-( Idea 2: The stylesheet operates on file B (products), where all chapters are defined and product-templates are matched if there are nodes with the corresponding codes. I find this alternative quit labourious. Does anyone have any idea?? Many thanks Barbara ---- mailto:b.sellmer-bruels@xxxxxxxxxxx XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
