Subject: RE: [xsl] Testing / Comparing dates From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2006 11:22:55 -0000 |
In 2.0 you can compare dates directly. If there's a schema that defines submissionDeadline to be a date, you just do submissionDeadline > current-date() If not, you just cast it: xs:date(submissionDeadline) > current-date() In 1.0 you're stuck with numeric comparison. You can do number(transate(submissionDeadline), '-', '') > $currentDate where $currentDate is a parameter in the format 20060323 Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Aaron Johnson [mailto:Aaron2.Johnson@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 24 March 2006 11:00 > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [xsl] Testing / Comparing dates > > Hello... > > I have some xml: > > <submissionDeadline>2006-17-12</submissionDeadline> > > I would like to test this element against a parameter > containing the current > date so as to display two lists, a list of items on time and > a list of items > that are late. > > As far as I am aware, the parameter will be the same format. > > I thought if the dates were passed as integers [20061712] it > may be possible > to do a greater than of less than test. > > Can you compare dates as they are in this form, and if so, how? > > Thanks for your advice... > > .................................................................. > > Aaron Johnson > GUI / XSLT development > Academic Technologies Group [ATG] > University of the West of England > 0117 3281051 [ext: 81051] > atg.uwe.ac.uk/aaron > > SECURITY POLICY: > > Please note that ATG will only accept > e-mail attachments in the following > formats: > > .asp,.bin,.doc,.gif,.html,.jpg,.mdb,.png, > .psd,.shtml,.sdf,.sit,.xls,.xml,.xsd,.xsl,.zip, > > .................................................................. > > 3In a wireless world without boundaries... > ...who needs Gates and Windows?2 > > .................................................................. > > This communication is intended solely > for the use of the individual(s) to whom > it is addressed.
