Subject: [xsl] starts-with(preceding-sibling::line,8) From: "Keith" <keith@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2001 17:05:37 -0500 |
Good day everyone, I had to move some logic from a VB component into several 'dedicated' stylesheets. These files are coming in fixed-with, comma delemited,quoted-comma etc. the one in question is fixed-width and the order of the lines MUST be: starting characters- 5, then any number of paired 6's and 7's followed by an 8 example: 598e3983423 John Smith12334 PhoenixAZ55866 23423423 43545 345345345 632434890 other info 723423 other info 6...... 7...... 8234234324 .............. then it starts with a 5 and continues I already call to an Error template with parameters of the section of the file (header,batch,transaction,trailer) and the contents of the line(node) itself for lines of length less than is required, using <xsl:message terminate="yes"> to generate the parseError reason. all "line" nodes are children of a "Temp" root node Now I want to call the same Error template IF the current line node starts-with 5 but the preceding line node does not start with an 8 <this is the part of the template select="line" section, after I test for the starts-with 5 character and after the test is performed to assure the proper line character length> <xsl:if test="position()>1 and not(starts-with(preceding::line,8)">'of course the first line won't have a closing line behind it <xsl:call-template name="Error"> <xsl:with-param name="errType">Header</xsl:with-param> <xsl:with-param name="errLine"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:with-param> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:if> I can't seem to combine the starts-with and the preceding or preceding-sibling functions to make it work right. I always get a parserror reason that the closing batch tag doesn't match the starting header tag (or something to that effect). This would be fine if there was only one batch in the file, however there can be thousands, so returning the actual line and section really helps troubleshooting the error. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks all Keith Brooks Software Developer Global eTelecom Keith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
