Subject: Re: [xsl] Using XPath to retrieve nodes by attribute. From: Mukul Gandhi <mukul_gandhi@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2004 06:31:56 -0700 (PDT) |
Hi Manuel, It seems the problem is with the context node under which the evaluation xml/CCC/DDD[@attrib='123'][1] is done. If you run the following XSL to the XML, the correct result is printed. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="text" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match="/xml"> <xsl:value-of select="CCC/DDD[@attrib='123'][1]" /> <xsl:value-of select="CCC/DDD[@attrib='456'][1]" /> <xsl:value-of select="CCC/DDD[@attrib='456'][2]" /> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Regards, Mukul --- Manuel Reyes <Manuel.Reyes@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello all, > > I have the following XML document: > > <xml> > <AAA>foo</AAA> > <BBB>bar</BBB> > <CCC> > <DDD attrib="123">quick</DDD> > <DDD attrib="456">brown</DDD> > <DDD attrib="789">fox</DDD> > <DDD attrib="123">jumped</DDD> > <DDD attrib="456">lazy</DDD> > <DDD attrib="789">dog</DDD> > </CCC> > </xml> > > If I run the following XPath query it returns the > count of all nodes in > CCC that have an attrib value of "123": > > xml/CCC/DDD[@attrib='123'] = 2 > > What I am trying to do now is retrieve a particular > node based on the > position in the CCC node and its attribute, > something like this: > > xml/CCC/DDD[@attrib='123'][1] = quick > xml/CCC/DDD[@attrib='456'][1] = brown > xml/CCC/DDD[@attrib='456'][2] = lazy > > This is based on information I found here: > http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/xpath_location.asp > > Unfortunately this does work, can anybody tell me > where I am going wrong > > Thanks > Manuel > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
