Subject: [xsl] xsl:for-each...iteration question From: "Paul Coletti" <pcoletti@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2005 18:19:29 +0200 |
This has been answered before I'm sure but doing a relevant search in the
archives is tricky.
I've an input doc containing a number of modify-attr elements
<modify>
<modify-attr attr-name = "abc"/>
<modify-attr attr-name = "123"/>
<modify-attr attr-name = "789"/>
</modify>
I have another document containing a list of prohibited attributes.
<exclude-list>
<exclude-attr>123</exclude-attr>
</exclude-list>
I want to iterate over my input doc and copy all those modify-attr elements
that are NOT in the exclude list to the output.
<xsl:template match="modify/modify-attr">
<xsl:variable name="currentAttr" select="@attr-name"/>
<xsl:variable name="currentNode" select="."/>
<xsl:for-each select="document('excludedoc')/exclude-list/exclude-attr">
<xsl:when test="$currentAttr=.">
<xsl:message>Exclude</xsl:message>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:copy-of select="$currentNode"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
Obvisouly, this is flawed, I get multiple modify-attr elements copied to the
output because I cannot see a way of ensuring the for-each only copies a
permitted node once and once only.
I've a feeling this is approaching the problem from the wrong way....
