Subject: [xsl] getting equivalent nodes From: mjyoungblut@xxxxxxx Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2001 10:14:03 -0500 |
If I have two sets of elements between two documents, how can I see whether or not there are matching elements, based on both the @* and value. I know how to gather up the elements I want to compare, but I would like an efficient way of comparing them. For example, Group 1: <Characteristic Name="A">value of A</Characteristic> <Characteristic Name="B">value of B</Characteristic> <Characteristic Name="C">value of C</Characteristic> <Characteristic Name="D">value of D</Characteristic> Group 2: <Characteristic Name="A">value of A</Characteristic> <Characteristic Name="B">value of b</Characteristic> <Characteristic Name="C">value of c</Characteristic> <Characteristic Name="D">value of C</Characteristic> I want to say something like <xsl:copy-of select="$TODAY_PROD//Characteristic[@Name = $YEST_PROD//Characteristic//@Name and not(. =$YEST_PROD//Characteristic)]"/> meaning that if the @Names are equivalent and the values are equivalent, then copy the node. But the xsl snippet above compares the value of $TODAY_PROD//Characterisic against all of the $YEST_PROD//Characteristics. I want to only compare it against those with the same @Name. I can currently do this if I take all of the Characteristics from each group and 'stringify' them(including the @Name) and then iterating through Group 1, stringifying each Characteristic and comparing it to the list of stringified nodes from Group 2. If possible, I would like to make this simpler. I expect the output to look like <Characteristic Name="A">value of A</Characteristic> but I am currently getting <Characteristic Name="A">value of A</Characteristic> <Characteristic Name="C">value of C</Characteristic> Thanks in advance, Matt XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
