Subject: RE: [xsl] Passing arrays as parameters From: "Michael L" <MichaelL@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2004 15:28:34 +0100 |
Thanks for the quick replies, The reason why I wanted to pass in a array is because I want to select a specific data from the XML file. <Data> <Foo name="Foo1"> <bar name="bar1">stuff</bar> <bar name="bar2">stuff</bar> </Foo> <Foo name="Foo2"> <bar name="bar1">stuff</bar> <bar name="bar2">stuff</bar> </Foo> <Foo name="Foo3"> <bar name="bar1">stuff</bar> <bar name="bar2">stuff</bar> </Foo> </Data> I then want to be able to specify what I select from the XML document. I.e I may only want the following data Foo1("bar1") Foo3("bar1", "bar2") I hope the above makes sense. Thanks once again for the advice.

Then you can process it just like any other node-set. Best of luck! <M:D/> If you passed in a string with XML syntax you'd want a parse extension function not a node-set() (ie the opposite of serialization) Saxon for example offers such a function. On the other hand, if called from an API ratherthan from a command line, most XSLT engines will allow you to pass in a node set as a parameter so no extension function should be needed.
