Re: [xsl] New doubt !

[Daniel Bibbens <dbibbens@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Assuming "reatilstoreids.xml" has the form:

<stores>
  <store id="2345">Bangalore central</store>
  <store id="4567">Walmart</store>
</stores>

Then:

<xsl:variable 
  name="store-name"
  select="RetailStoreID"/>

<xsl:value-of 
  select="document('reatilstoreids.xml')/stores/store[descendant-or-self::* = $store-name]/@id"/>

Should return the value of "id".
