Subject: RE: [xsl] Alternatives to "Stopping" a for-each From: <trond.huso@xxxxxx> Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2013 14:35:24 +0000 |
Hi Michael and Serhiy,
Thanks for all your suggestions.
Michael: yes, I am fully aware of for-each as a typical procedural language
for-each.
Just to explain:
The line 7-11-6-12 has come out because:
7 = first ranked horse, 11= second ranked horse, 6=third ranked horse, 12=4th
ranked horse + the winner of that race.
I get the winner of the current race from these xpaths:
<xsl:variable name="winner" select="Winners/Winner/@StartNo" />
<xsl:variable name="starts" select="Starts/Start" />
<xsl:variable name="startsnos"
select="Starts/Start/StartNo" />
As I see it, option/alternative a is not an option.
It seems that option b could be the solution
That means it must look in the lines of (Still a work in progress as you can
see):
<xsl:template name="foo">
<xsl:param name="start"/>
<xsl:param name="winner" />
<xsl:if test="$start != $winner">
<xsl:call-template name="foo">
<xsl:with-param name="current" select="$start - 1"/>
<xsl:with-param name="winner" select="$winner" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
I'm not looking at xslt3.0 even though I am assuming that my saxon version
could use it (I am on 9.4 I believe).

Don't think of a for-each as a loop. Think of it as a functional mapping
operation, where you apply a function (the body of the for-each) to every item
in a sequence - quite possibly in parallel. There's no concept that the system
doesn't start processing the second item until it has finished processing the
first.
Your alternatives are
(a) decide up-front which items in the sequence to process, and select them in
the select expression of the for-each
(b) if you need to make a dynamic decision, replace the for-each with a
recursion.
(c) or in XSLT 3.0, xsl:iterate gives you a "sequential" equivalent of
for-each where the way each item is processed can depend on the results of
processing previous items (and an xsl:break that terminates processing)
