Re: [xsl] Limiting a FOR-EACH loop

["Vasu Chakkera" <vasucv@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Gurnam,
You havent explained your problem properly..
I am giving u a solution that limits the no of elements the for-each 
processes. You can do this using position() function..
the following is an example

xml file
--------

<elements>
<element>element1</element>
<element>element2</element>
<element>element3</element>
<element>element4</element>
<element>element5</element>
<element>element6</element>
<element>element7</element>
<element>element8</element>
</elements>

xsl
---

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="/elements/element[position() &lt;=5]">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

this will print the values of the first 5 elements..
I dont know if this gives a lead to your problem..please get back if you 
have any querries

Thanks
Vasu
