Hi,

Thanks a ton for the reply.
I am using XSLT-1.0 so I don't think for loop will work. I am loading the file
using python code, lxml library does that for me. I pass my filesljp
one by one to the method given below and merge the files.

 def startXSLTMerge(self, mergeFileName, inputFile):
        parser = etree.XMLParser()
        parser.resolvers.add(FileResolver())

        xml_input = etree.parse(open(inputFile,'r'), parser)
        xslt_root = etree.parse(open(mergeGeneric.xsl','r'), parser)
        transform = etree.XSLT(xslt_root)
        result = str(transform(xml_input))
        print str(transform(xml_input))

        f = open('Merged_File.xml', 'w+')
        f.write(str(result))
        f.close()

I was trying something like this (this is not giving me the correct result,
but something which I have tried):

<xsl:template match="/InfoTag/Procedure">
<xsl:variable name="countDocProcedures">
<xsl:value-of select="count(/InfoTag/Procedure)"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="countProcedures">
<xsl:value-of select="count(document('NewFile1.xml')/InfoTag/Procedure)"/>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:variable name="totalProcedures">
<xsl:value-of select="$countDocProcedures + $countProcedures"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:call-template name="callProcedure">
<xsl:with-param name="test" select="$totalProcedures"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="callProcedure">
<xsl:param name="test"/>
<xsl:if test="$test &gt; 0">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:if test="/InfoTag/Procedure/downTime">
<xsl:attribute name="attrProc">
<xsl:value-of select="$test"></xsl:value-of>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="attrLevel">
<xsl:value-of select="'##### NOT UNIQUE#####'"></xsl:value-of>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:copy-of select="downTime"></xsl:copy-of>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:copy>
<xsl:call-template name="callProcedure">
        <xsl:with-param name="test" select="$test - 1"/>
      </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

It is getting '10' in test parameter which I have passed. Still trying to find
out why.
Could you help me.


Thanks,
BR,

Hi,

I have few xml files (depends on user how much he/she wants to pass). I
have to take those files and merge them, so I have created a loop and in
that I am passing these files one by one. For this I have written few
rules to merge. But there is this <Procedure> tag where I am stuck. To
merge this I need to parse each Procedure and have to modify its
attributes (attrProc and attrLevel). I have to replace the attrProc
attribute with a sequential value and for me this will set a unique
"Level" for each Procedure tag and later I will process them based on
their level.


_File1.xml_

I am trying to fetch an output file which looks like this:

_Output.xml_

I am thinking of looping it and will count the occurrences of it and
then I am thinking to replace the value. But I am not able to do that.
Can anyone tell me how to achieve this. How can I loop every Procedure
tag and and append the attrProc attribute value in a sequential order?

How do you load the files?

I would simply use Saxon 9 and collection, as in

<xsl:template match="/" name="main">
  <InfoTag>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="collection('.?select=*.xml')//Procedure"/>
  </InfoTag>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Procedure">
  <Procedure attrProc="{position()}" attrLevel="### NOT UNIQUE ###">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </Procedure>
</xsl:template>

maybe with an additional <xsl:sort select="@attrLevel"/> on the
apply-templates of the collection, depending on which ordering you need. If
the name of the files are known then you can of course also do

<xsl:template match="/" name="main">
  <InfoTag>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="for $file in (doc('file1.xml'),
doc('file2.xml')) return $file//Procedure"/>
  </InfoTag>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Procedure">
  <Procedure attrProc="{position()}" attrLevel="### NOT UNIQUE ###">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </Procedure>
</xsl:template>
